GMS-2020-363: Malicious Package

September 3, 2020 (updated September 30, 2021)

All versions of maleficent contain malicious code. The package is a demonstration of possible risks when installing npm packages. It gathers system information such as: environment variables, OS information, network interface, AWS credentials, npm credentials and ssh keys. The package prints the information to a local file but does not upload it to a remote server. Remove the package from your environment. There is no further compromise.
