Source: amazon-inspector (fe5161ec5e3bb6bc18d6975809d09281190c49b41a4f926dfa6a28cabf061e04) claims-acct-unlock@25.2.1 ships no source code; package.json declares a single dependency 'node-acct-utilssss21' resolved from a bare HTTPS tarball URL on an unrelated GitHub user's repository (github.com/GamerD11/ping_test) at the mutable branch ref refs/heads/main, with no commit pin and no integrity hash. On npm install, npm fetches whatever bytes are currently served at that URL and installs them as a dependency, running any lifecycle scripts bundled inside. The repository owner can replace the tarball contents at any time without any change to this package. The dependency name does not correspond to a known library and resembles a typo of an internal/utility package, consistent with a dependency-confusion / lure shape where the manifest itself is the entire attack surface.

# Patch Next advisory brief: GHSA-7338-2qv3-86fw Advisory: Malicious code in claims-acct-unlock (npm) IDs: GHSA-7338-2qv3-86fw Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/mal-2026-18404 (revision 1, source checked 31 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 claims-acct-unlock: affected every version ## Suggested inspection (read-only) - `npm ls claims-acct-unlock --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 claims-acct-unlock. - 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-2026-18404 (OSV record MAL-2026-18404 lists affected ranges: npm claims-acct-unlock >=0) Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
