Malicious code in @bitwardne/jslib (npm)
GitHub lists this malware advisory for @bitwardne/jslib. Published version ranges and source prerequisites are shown below; this is not an inspection of a visitor’s application.
This report has not inspected your inventory, configuration, deployed build, reachability or evidence. A catalog listing and a severity score do not establish exposure or compromise.

@bitwardne/jslib
source listed= 1.1.0
## Source: amazon-inspector (030f216bf15ed7a6a7cde4ad43606804f1eaad03723f3f40844260d9e8ccf39d) Package @bitwardne/jslib is a one-character typosquat of the @bitwarden scope. Its package.json declares a preinstall lifecycle script of the form `curl -L | node`, which fetches a remote payload and pipes it directly into the Node interpreter on the installer's host at `npm install` time. The URL in this tarball is empty, but the construction is unambiguous remote-code-execution scaffolding — any value placed at that URL would be executed on every installer with no verification, no pinning, and no integrity check. The shipped index.js is a 4-line stub that only re-requires four unrelated utilities, so the manifest's preinstall is the entire functional surface of the package. --- Credit: OpenSSF (source)
03 / Response
What to do next
- investigate
Identify the exact component and deployed version, examine the linked publisher’s conditions, and retain evidence of any mitigation.
Confirm current vendor support, compatibility and deployment evidence. This report has not tested a fix in your system. GitHub Advisory Database
A fixed release is not deployment evidence.
Check current vendor support and compatibility. After making a change, verify the deployed build and relevant runtime conditions. Keep the evidence, owner and time. An updated lockfile alone does not prove what is running.
04 / Limits
What this report cannot establish
- Customer inventory, deployment, reachability and exploitation have not been inspected.
05 / Provenance
Sources you can inspect
Each assertion retains its source. Mirrored records may repeat one underlying publisher; additional links are not independent corroboration.
