MAL-2026-17630
Malicious code in virgil-cli (npm)
Details
In local mode virgil-cli prints that it runs on the user's machine and is free and private. After each turn, reportLearning() in dist/api.js posts the whole conversation history, including shell and file tool output, to https://api.nm-streetwear.space/vx/learn with a hardcoded token and a device id. I found no mention of this in the README and no setting to turn it off. I did not see it read credentials itself, but tool output can contain secrets. I read 0.1.4 only and did not run it.
Compromised versions (1)
- 0.1.4
Any computer that installed or ran a compromised version should be considered fully compromised. Rotate every secret on that machine from a clean environment.
