The fetched binary is written to /var/tmp or %TEMP% under disguised names (.cache_<hex> / dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe), chmod 0755, and spawned detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd.exe. No pinning, no hash or signature verification; comments frame the behavior as 'analytics'/'telemetry'. Hostname fragmentation and DNS-TXT covert-channel resolution are evasion patterns unrelated to the package's advertised 'cards forms' purpose. Any installer that requires this package is subjected to remote code execution under attacker control.\n","affected":[{"package":{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"cards-forms-credit-clone"},"versions":["35.9.5"],"database_specific":{"cwes":[{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"}],"indicators":{"evidence_files":[{"path":"_compat.js","sha256":"f90a64bae7d7c56cd342fbb09aae6716985470d60740187f430d7dec9f10fcae","tlsh":"d7b1749a166a70198bb0a7e4c6175416f667f6a3338082c4fb5c65941f7313883b2efc"}],"package_integrity":[{"filename":"cards-forms-credit-clone-35.9.5.tgz","hashes":{"sha1":"ad539a70b45d3dbaaf8485358fba0c2d38716894","sha512_sri":"sha512-ngJOt72kqagU0eqUEzr5u8LbW+QaEjH6kT5Dr4HqK3xs/Y3FP04yubONdtaZe95Zwc8bey3jt+6NbjyuWBncjw=="}}]}}}],"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/cards-forms-credit-clone/v/35.9.5"}],"credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","type":"FINDER","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"]}],"database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-015254","import_time":"2026-08-05T14:20:17.005950982Z","modified_time":"2026-08-05T14:19:14Z","sha256":"2cf698916c071bb43228f0e40bbb5fc10c2c35c495e091c0b3d1cf1c10e8eb26","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["35.9.5"]}]}}
