Source: amazon-inspector (1d8295dd6d1f932aa9f2b865822f1a6f213e00fc288b35cd4b7d8fa0f07a8641) On load, index.js queries the Alibaba Cloud ECS instance metadata service at 100.100.100.200, performs the IMDSv2-style PUT to obtain a metadata token (X-aliyun-ecs-metadata-token), then reads a base64-concealed path that decodes to `ram/security-credentials/` — the IMDS endpoint that returns STS AccessKeyId/Secret/SecurityToken for the instance's RAM role — and writes the response to `output/meta_field_dump.txt`. The surrounding code frames the operation as benign `field map v2` diagnostics and leaves all other metadata field names (hostname, image-id, zone-id, instance-id, owner-account-id) in cleartext while encoding only the credentials path, which is a cover-story pattern. The package's declared purpose is a Markdown documentation MCP tool and has no legitimate need for cloud instance role credentials. Separately, package.json…

# Patch Next advisory brief: mal-2026-18487

Advisory: Malicious code in @ifasn/mdd-doc-mcp (npm)
IDs: mal-2026-18487
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/mal-2026-18487 (revision 1, source checked 3 Nov 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 @ifasn/mdd-doc-mcp: affected >= 1.0.7, <= 1.0.7; >= 1.0.8, <= 1.0.8; >= 2.0.6, <= 2.0.6

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- `npm ls @ifasn/mdd-doc-mcp --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 @ifasn/mdd-doc-mcp.
- 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-2026-18487 (OSV record MAL-2026-18487 lists affected ranges: npm @ifasn/mdd-doc-mcp >=1.0.7 =1.0.8 =2.0.6 <=2.0.6)

Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
