The destination is a bare IP on a non-standard port with no pinning, signing, or integrity verification; the executed content is fully attacker-controlled and mutable server-side. The package's metadata and identifiers frame the loader as a CDN icon fetcher (`iconDomain`, `path = \"/icons/\"`, a `bearrtoken: \"logo\"` header, a `font-awesome`-shaped path, and an unused `setDefaultModule` referencing cdnjs/cloudflare/fastly), and the README advertises the package as a lightweight zero-dependency helper while `dependencies` include axios, express, better-sqlite3, @primno/dpapi, node-machine-id, and socket.io-client — a native-Windows-credential (DPAPI) plus persistent-socket stack inconsistent with an icon helper. Any code path that reaches `getPlugin` grants remote code execution on the consumer's host to the operator of 31.97.137.157.\n","affected":[{"package":{"name":"ventrix-kit","ecosystem":"npm"},"versions":["0.5.2","1.5.2"],"database_specific":{"cwes":[{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"},{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"}],"indicators":{"evidence_files":[{"path":"index.js","sha256":"7a5abb1a5f719ddd3d6dd70d6d4874363c32fcc21540dc72afe18db78aaf3202","tlsh":"ccc1706546fa21a36a67a0eef30f100271a5e3133759e931f48e42902fca568e5f24e8"}],"package_integrity":[{"filename":"ventrix-kit-0.5.2.tgz","hashes":{"sha1":"3fe8164d50a92c30f1ee65e0c22cb3441465aeaf","sha512_sri":"sha512-fs6DFaW5T/9941lOF1roRxT2bohJofq/1eHh7ZpRaFMY20sHwJVTvxeu5GyCPZWtnZgUhOJe7iPAXZZWtKePHw=="}}]}}}],"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/ventrix-kit/v/0.5.2"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/ventrix-kit/v/1.5.2"}],"database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-014799","import_time":"2026-08-05T13:08:47.319355061Z","modified_time":"2026-08-05T12:53:02Z","sha256":"409198f5545f08b1a2102b5e2f5ec038f4a882d4c1088377f1fa7c4cc8bc37dd","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["0.5.2"]},{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-014810","import_time":"2026-08-05T13:08:48.14745834Z","modified_time":"2026-08-05T12:55:18Z","sha256":"82b68f964850d0777c1f3993c52e3b66dc425b02ee82fb33bcd958514f730926","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["1.5.2"]},{"id":"RLMA-2026-10809","import_time":"2026-09-24T09:21:36.373492024Z","modified_time":"2026-09-22T17:44:34Z","sha256":"24f079dfd7743a45087779b8187ef68337e2c20bce690a12eb30e56e1e60b037","source":"reversing-labs","versions":["0.5.2","1.5.2"]}]},"credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"],"type":"FINDER"},{"name":"ReversingLabs","contact":["https://www.reversinglabs.com"],"type":"FINDER"}]}
