Malicious code in byted-commerce-materials (npm)

CISA KEV lists vulnerabilities known to be exploited. FIRST EPSS estimates the likelihood of exploitation in the next 30 days. An unavailable score does not mean zero risk.

No exploitation or prediction data is available here for these CVEs. This does not mean they are safe or unlikely to be exploited.

--- _-= Per source details.

It also enumerates process.env keys and filters them against a broad credential-name regex set (token, secret, key, password, aws, azure, gcp, npm, ssh, private, credential, jwt, bearer, stripe, db, mysql, postgres, mongo, redis). The collected payload is POSTed to api.telegram.org via a hardcoded Telegram Bot API token and chat_id (1064260758). A secondary DNS-based side channel base64-encodes host/user/CI fields and issues a `dns.resolve` against a `<encoded>.dc-callback.example.com` subdomain as a fallback for environments that block HTTPS to Telegram. The package presents itself as a byted/commerce materials module and a `security research / dependency confusion PoC`; the self-label does not change that the traced behavior harvests installer host and credential reconnaissance and ships it off-host to attacker-controlled channels without consent.
