Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Version 0.2.12 of jekyll-for-github-projects contained malicious code. The code when executed in the browser would enumerate password, cvc and cardnumber fields from forms and send the extracted values to https://js-metrics.com/minjs.php?pl= Recommendation Remove the package from your environment and evaluate your application to determine whether or not user data was compromised. Users may consider downgrading to version 0.2.11

# Patch Next advisory brief: GHSA-j5qg-46p9-w2rp

Advisory: Malicious Package in jekyll-for-github-projects
IDs: GHSA-j5qg-46p9-w2rp
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/ghsa-j5qg-46p9-w2rp (revision 2, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 12:24 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Unrated
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor response not established. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- npm jekyll-for-github-projects: affected >= 0.2.12, <= 0.2.12

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- `npm ls jekyll-for-github-projects --all`: lists every installed copy and version, including transitive ones. Run in the project root after `npm ci`.

## Supported action
No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on jekyll-for-github-projects.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.
