On `npm install`, npm fetches a tarball from this host over unauthenticated plain HTTP with no integrity hash, and installs its contents into the consumer's node_modules. The domain operator can serve arbitrary, mutable bytes on each fetch, meaning any code shipped from that host runs inside the installer's dependency tree. The main module's header additionally self-identifies the package as a 'Security Research Testing Purpose' artifact, and the package description is a bare 'NPM', consistent with a hijack-vector proof-of-concept rather than a functional utility. The auto-execute condition is satisfied: any default `npm install` of this package resolves and installs the attacker-controlled tarball without user opt-in.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (5b1bef8caf5ddc16dd3678dd285bba97e31d6b6ec8844b04c441a430c163f621)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.\n","affected":[{"package":{"name":"no-for-of-loops","ecosystem":"npm"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.0.1"],"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":"package.json","sha256":"9898595aa3e08330461d2cfe9de8412a293420b480b4d51632a0dec4d7b02aa9","tlsh":"66f0f60cde21aa5748ca396d99275a42b2767e675818fe1832c7973c0b4d0fb60f929c"},{"path":"index.js","sha256":"f2fcebdb4f0e41365a39ca87a52fcc4e6abd5633fe6272e60d1386d26b90ef41","tlsh":"71a1935ab5e0159745aa22e5b3ce48b577bd80b3330df5a0b54cbf563f40c348a1aed1"}],"package_integrity":[{"filename":"no-for-of-loops-1.0.1.tgz","hashes":{"sha1":"5934f580a9bdda1d499a74a35b4034b04d4af738","sha512_sri":"sha512-zK1v5Nb/8sLnxxB2KS5pyZ9Ja0UIxDfPPJHwoCWMYec0X/sx2iYLIDi+cc7rkGN4Iz4b1lTmZZne1vrhAhdVDg=="}}]}}}],"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/no-for-of-loops/v/1.0.1"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-hfg2-857w-8wm9"}],"database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-018381","import_time":"2026-08-19T06:49:44.39761579Z","modified_time":"2026-08-19T06:22:58Z","sha256":"08feaf6617a902e503390720b41d226364ba3bc125d298eb296a2d3e30d5b6d5","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["1.0.1"]},{"id":"GHSA-hfg2-857w-8wm9","import_time":"2026-08-24T13:35:16.222920697Z","modified_time":"2026-08-24T12:43:04Z","ranges":[{"events":[{"introduced":"0"}],"type":"SEMVER"}],"sha256":"5b1bef8caf5ddc16dd3678dd285bba97e31d6b6ec8844b04c441a430c163f621","source":"ghsa-malware"}]},"credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"],"type":"FINDER"}]}
