Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

util-foriepft@1.0.0 was published to npm on 2026-10-08 17:34 UTC by user regex33-hackerone. It is described as utility helpers but ships no library code: index.js is an empty module. thunderboltRegistry.js runs when the package is loaded, executes host commands through child_process and sends their output to a remote collector at dxpoc[.]gt[.]tc, and registry-manifest.min.json names Wix-internal modules (dependency confusion). Apart from the collector URL, thunderboltRegistry.js is byte-identical to the payload of css-overscroll-contain@1.0.1 (MAL-2026-17705), published from the same account. The package was still available on 2026-10-11. --- _-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_

# Patch Next advisory brief: GHSA-rc7p-6p9r-rfj9

Advisory: Malicious code in util-foriepft (npm)
IDs: GHSA-rc7p-6p9r-rfj9
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/mal-2026-17878 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 12:40 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 util-foriepft: affected every version

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- `npm ls util-foriepft --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 util-foriepft.
- 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.
