On `npm install`, npm fetches whatever bytes that host serves and executes any lifecycle scripts inside, with no version pin, no registry integrity check, and no hash. The shipped `index.js` is a one-line re-export of that dependency, so runtime behavior is also fully delegated to the externally-hosted bytes. Whoever controls `artifacts.creditslib.com` controls code on every installer's machine, and the content can change between installs without any change to this package. The package is published under the `@flexmr` scope with placeholder author/publisher metadata (`example/@flexmr/...`, `Package Registry`), consistent with a…

# Patch Next advisory brief: GHSA-hc8w-gq4q-fr74 Advisory: Malicious code in @flexmr/survey-conversation (npm) IDs: GHSA-hc8w-gq4q-fr74 Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/mal-2026-17899 (revision 2, source checked 30 Oct 2026, 06:00 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 @flexmr/survey-conversation: affected every version ## Suggested inspection (read-only) - `npm ls @flexmr/survey-conversation --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 @flexmr/survey-conversation. - 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. ## Sources - Verified: https://osv.dev/vulnerability/MAL-2026-17899 (OSV record MAL-2026-17899 lists affected ranges: npm @flexmr/survey-conversation >=0) Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
