Malicious code in @k.vict1999/pino-std-serializers (npm)

Details

**Severity:** Critical

**Affected versions:** `= 7.2.0`

@k.vict1999/pino-std-serializers ships lib/contract.js, byte-identical to the pino-testkit payload: an obfuscated module that decodes and evaluates code at load. It is a new name for the pino-testkit (MAL-2026-16484) campaign; the file hashes below match that record's evidence. The package presents itself as an ordinary utility, so the code runs on import or install without the user knowing.
