Malicious code in starbucks-sdk (npm)
Exploitation and risk
Source statusCISA 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.
Which CVEs have scores here?
This view includes predictions for CVE identifiers explicitly listed in public NuGet advisories. Microsoft release pages have their own prediction coverage. Check source status for the scope and latest checks.
No exploitation or prediction data is available here for these CVEs. This does not mean they are safe or unlikely to be exploited.

Published--- _-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_ ## Source: amazon-inspector (f42de3e225b6f8d6be04fbf613ae4d17458626c92f2cfe1bf1b4476fe132e761) The package's package.json declares a preinstall script that runs callback.js on npm install. callback.js collects os.hostname(), os.userInfo(), os.platform(), the current working directory, and a timestamp, then enumerates process.env and selects keys matching /token|secret|key|pass|auth|api|aws/i (up to 10 entries). The collected data is POSTed via https.request to https://api.telegram.org/bot<BOT_TOKEN>/sendMessage using a hardcoded Telegram bot token and chat_id (bot 8636277735, chat_id 1064260758). The name mimics a legitimate vendor SDK but the package's only behavior is install-time reconnaissance and exfiltration of installer/build-host identity and credential-shaped environment variable names to an attacker-controlled Telegram channel — a dependency-confusion recon payload. ## Source: ossf-package-analysis (cbea0cf6cf424cbaa524691f90c075f11c4c5265e941abdeab442a53ccbb0caf) The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'starbucks-sdk' @ 1.0.0 (npm) as malicious. It is considered malicious because: - The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity.
