Destination hostnames and fallback domains are reconstructed at runtime by.join()-ing split string fragments to defeat plain-text grep. Environment-variable opt-out flags (DISABLE_TELEMETRY and similar) plus a lock file provide plausible-deniability framing, but the package's advertised purpose (a 'boxy maker scroll adapter') has no legitimate need for downloading and executing native binaries from anonymous infrastructure. Installing or requiring this package results in arbitrary attacker-controlled code executing on the installer's machine.\n","affected":[{"package":{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"boxy-maker-scroll"},"versions":["35.6.7"],"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":"_polyfill.js","sha256":"dae0f01e6392381b8d521c4ce4c0a4bc31e78a3c34be4557c203bebd674910a8","tlsh":"f7a1a79a01b670098bb0dbe0c7179415f65be2633380c298fb5c69941fb716483b2dfc"}],"package_integrity":[{"filename":"boxy-maker-scroll-35.6.7.tgz","hashes":{"sha1":"127786691231d31ceceb6234bcde4790769cee51","sha512_sri":"sha512-wa4BB26VsP5GOKWx7N95QdimmHLc8zLvoj/cwAJG/FJ5cK8yR/c3aZ7TKS/G0SqhHZrqq3epZgdkKJXJsYspGQ=="}}]}}}],"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/boxy-maker-scroll/v/35.6.7"}],"credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","type":"FINDER","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"]}],"database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-015315","import_time":"2026-08-05T15:19:44.399985077Z","modified_time":"2026-08-05T14:28:35Z","sha256":"a06d379928c2633009c8dc7d89921205689ffb6ed8fa03ba74f67f557836c6f4","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["35.6.7"]}]}}
