Source: amazon-inspector (aff8facc55023666afe4d90942161c6319aee23e3bbfc66fc3cd05a828e15140) Package csec-form-validatorr version 0.0.0-stage ships a minimal set of files with no observed install-time lifecycle execution, no network exfiltration, no credential or filesystem reads outside the package, and no code that would harm an installer on npm install or require. The version suffix and small file count are consistent with a placeholder or staging release rather than a functional library. The package name resembles a form-validation utility but no concrete malicious behavior is present in the shipped contents.

# Patch Next advisory brief: GHSA-ph3g-jrf5-8792 Advisory: Malicious code in csec-form-validatorr (npm) IDs: GHSA-ph3g-jrf5-8792 Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/mal-2026-18353 (revision 2, source checked 30 Oct 2026, 06:05 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 csec-form-validatorr: affected every version ## Suggested inspection (read-only) - `npm ls csec-form-validatorr --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 csec-form-validatorr. - 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-2026-18353 (OSV record MAL-2026-18353 lists affected ranges: npm csec-form-validatorr >=0) Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
