{"cve":"CVE-2025-59037","nvd":{"published":"2025-09-09T21:15:39.170","modified":"2026-06-17T09:45:28.787","status":"Deferred","description":"DuckDB is an analytical in-process SQL database management system. On 08 September 2025, the DuckDB distribution for Node.js on npm was compromised with malware (along with several other packages). An attacker published new versions of four of DuckDB's packages that included malicious code to interfere with cryptocoin transactions* According to the npm statistics, nobody has downloaded these packages before they were deprecated. The packages and versions `@duckdb/node-api@1.3.3`, `@duckdb/node-bindings@1.3.3`, `duckdb@1.3.3`, and `@duckdb/duckdb-wasm@1.29.2` were affected. DuckDB immediately deprecated the specific versions, engaged npm support to delete the affected verions, and re-released the node packages with higher version numbers (1.3.4/1.30.0). Users may upgrade to versions 1.3.4, 1.30.0, or a higher version to protect themselves. As a workaround, they may also downgrade to 1.3.2 or 1.29.1.","cvss_v4":{"vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","score":8.6},"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":["CWE-506"],"references":["https://github.com/duckdb/duckdb-node/releases/tag/v1.3.4","https://github.com/duckdb/duckdb-node/security/advisories/GHSA-w62p-hx95-gf2c","https://www.aikido.dev/blog/npm-debug-and-chalk-packages-compromised"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:08:41.295252406+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2025-59037","score":0.00372,"percentile":0.31179,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-w62p-hx95-gf2c","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-w62p-hx95-gf2c","summary":"DuckDB NPM packages 1.3.3 and 1.29.2 briefly compromised with malware","modified":"2025-09-10T21:08:58Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"duckdb","purl":"pkg:npm/duckdb","ranges":[">=1.3.3 <1.3.4"],"fixed":["1.3.4"]},{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"@duckdb/node-api","purl":"pkg:npm/%40duckdb/node-api","ranges":[">=1.3.3 <1.3.4-alpha.27"],"fixed":["1.3.4-alpha.27"]},{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"@duckdb/node-bindings","purl":"pkg:npm/%40duckdb/node-bindings","ranges":[">=1.3.3 <1.3.4-alpha.27"],"fixed":["1.3.4-alpha.27"]},{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"@duckdb/duckdb-wasm","purl":"pkg:npm/%40duckdb/duckdb-wasm","ranges":[">=1.29.2 <1.30.0"],"fixed":["1.30.0"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
