Root Cause Analysis
The advisory describes node-opensl
as embedded malware but provides no source code, commit diffs, or specific function-level
details. While we can infer malicious functionality would likely involve environment variable access (process.env
) and network exfiltration, the lack of concrete code examples or function
names in available resources prevents high-confidence identification of specific vulnerable functions
. The package has been unpublished from npm
, further limiting analysis opportunities. CWE-506
(Embedded Malicious Code) indicates the entire package should be considered malicious rather than containing specific vulnerable functions
.
