After launch the scripts unlink the dropped files to remove traces. The URLs, filenames, and shell commands are hidden inside an obfuscator.io-style rotating string array with an index-shifting IIFE. The same dropper runs from both preinstall and postinstall, so it executes twice per install.\n","affected":[{"package":{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"tlxbnhd"},"versions":["0.0.1"],"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":"scripts/preinstall.js","sha256":"7acf331117900179b483142f216fdcb22c671eb0b1971abd57f01bc036248a6e","tlsh":"51b1a59650f0289333a38af6a62fa0d2f36bc51932d6c983e41c69957f8d83dc5d2874"},{"path":"scripts/postinstall.js","sha256":"7acf331117900179b483142f216fdcb22c671eb0b1971abd57f01bc036248a6e","tlsh":"51b1a59650f0289333a38af6a62fa0d2f36bc51932d6c983e41c69957f8d83dc5d2874"}],"package_integrity":[{"filename":"tlxbnhd-0.0.1.tgz","hashes":{"sha1":"9318479b2218444e9cece69f098766301e5477e8","sha512_sri":"sha512-6lLS5TqE3UwOdU7spXWBoXtHr22PeDJ4Y/gWc8+yX1Q58a8d+9IHOmtNebzpo/QZ4gP2rlf5PCH8so3q+rIpfg=="}}]}}}],"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/tlxbnhd/v/0.0.1"}],"credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","type":"FINDER","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"]}],"database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-020291","import_time":"2026-09-22T15:18:38.079043655Z","modified_time":"2026-09-22T14:52:21Z","sha256":"e415dbf226269704c2cd28b1783cf594f96880dd4688b26caf7f25a19e268237","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["0.0.1"]}]}}
