Why

Socket's July 28 report describes a distributed npm dependency cluster that delivers a cross-platform RAT to developers using Alibaba tooling. Packages removed from npm can remain installed on endpoints, so the complete published package IOC set belongs in the exposure catalog.

What

  • Adds alibaba-developer-rat-2026-07-28.json covering all 18 npm packages in Socket's malicious-package IOC list.
  • Uses any-version matching for 17 packages whose current OSV MAL-2026 records declare every version affected.
  • Matches fast-transform-pipeline@1.0.1 exactly because Socket includes the package in the campaign while OSV does not currently publish a record for it.
  • Documents the source and matching methodology in the required root _comment and uses the standard Markdown source format in the catalog index.

Proof

End-to-end scanner smoke tests emitted an exact-version finding for fast-transform-pipeline@1.0.1 and an any-version finding for an arbitrary lib-mtop version.

The reviewer field cannot be set from this account: the PR comes from a fork and ronheichman has pull-only access on this repo, so RequestReviewsByLogin is refused. Flagging by mention instead.

Catalog all 18 npm packages in Socket’s campaign IOC list. Use package-wide matches for the 17 OSV all-version records and an exact match for fast-transform-pipeline@1.0.1.
