Version data
No release is known good. Including the releases the advisories named below.
Check what you actually have installed with npm ls my-ctf-helper-script-9921.
The source advisories flagged the package itself rather than particular releases. Treat any resolved version as malicious and remove the dependency; there is nothing to upgrade to.
GHSA 2026-09-21 (late) + 2026-09-22: ~25 new npm advisories + 2 pip. Day 5 of the oob.algamil7x.xyz DNS-OOB operator adds @baanx/abis and @baanx/blockchain-config at 9.9.11. Three hardhat-* typosquats (Ethereum toolchain) carry real axios-loader RCE via ipcheck-hashed.vercel.app. @uh-platform/* (5 pkgs) plus @uol-afiliados and @asdfaskdjfksadhfkasf fire Burp Collaborator OOB. pip pullgetsage archives Telegram Desktop tdata and POSTs to Cloudflare Workers.
Treat the machine as compromisedUpgrading is not enough. Packages in these incidents typically execute at install time, so the payload has already run with whatever credentials were in the environment.
Rotate every credential that machine or CI job could reach, such as registry tokens, cloud keys, SSH keys and CI secrets, from a different machine.
Remove the dependency: no release is known good, so there is nothing to pin to. Reinstall from a clean lockfile.
Clear caches and private mirrors. Artifactory, Nexus, Verdaccio and devpi routinely keep serving a tarball after the public registry has pulled it.
Read the incident write-up. Recommended actions differ per incident, and some have specific indicators of compromise worth searching your logs for.

It is usually pulled in as a transitive dependency rather than one you installed directly. Paste your package-lock.json to check every dependency at once. It runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
A small amount of analytics helps us understand how the scanner gets used so we can make it better. Your lockfile scanning still runs entirely in your browser. We never sell or share your data. See our Privacy Policy for details.
