Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: smb (affected versions not specified)

Description: The issue concerns a malicious module named smb that was published with the intent to hijack environment variables, effectively stealing them and sending the data to locations controlled by attackers. All versions of this module have been removed from the npm registry.

Recommendations: Delete the smb package from your environment. Clear your npm cache to ensure no remnants of the package remain. Verify that the smb package is not listed in any other package.json files on your system to prevent its accidental reinstatement. Regenerate your registry credentials, tokens, and any other sensitive credentials that may have been exposed through your environment variables. Review any services that may have been compromised due to exposed credentials in your environment variables, such as databases, for signs of unauthorized access or data breaches.
