Malicious code in executable-stories-playwright (npm)

Details

--- _-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_

## Source: amazon-inspector (3137898a0ce7b26bf51153300f929a28c1d653830a2ddf7f57d7dea270e2a7e0) No concrete installer-harm signals were identified in this version. No lifecycle hooks fetching remote payloads, no credential or environment scraping, and no attacker-controlled network destinations were observed in the available evidence. Coverage was partial, so routing to human review rather than auto-allow is conservative; nothing in the available evidence supports a block.

## Source: google-open-source-security (a6c7977dbc054cdb7fe56da0d2fbd26e2a6fed695deb4263ccbf4adfedd86acb) The Miasma malware is a self-propagating worm that spreads across the npm registry by abusing weaponized `binding.gyp` files to achieve execution during package installation, bypassing security tools that only inspect package lifecycle scripts. Upon execution, the malware attempts to exfiltrate credentials and OIDC tokens for various cloud and registry services, and propagates by compromising other packages managed by the stolen accounts or committing backdoor files to GitHub repositories.
