Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
exprss (affected versions not specified)
Description
The exprss package is a typosquatted version of a popular package with a similar name, designed to track users who install the incorrect package. Upon installation, it uploads information to a remote server, including the name of the downloaded package, the name of the intended package, the Node version, and whether the process is running as sudo. There is no further compromise beyond this information upload.
Recommendations
Remove the exprss package from your dependencies and ensure that package names are typed correctly during installation.
