MAL-2026-13981

Summary: Malicious code in eslint-publish-release (npm)

Details: Source: amazon-inspector (c3befb9fa08cae88e2ebcfb7877a33453bc0b95e0876fb5f76d55b011c8c9869) [email protected] is a hollow package (index.js is an empty stub, no lifecycle scripts) whose only effect on install is dependency resolution. Its package.json declares its sole dependency `ltidisafe` as a direct HTTPS tarball URL pointing at a Google Cloud Storage bucket (`https://ltidi.storage.googleapis.com/depenconf/ltidisafe-3.6.4.tgz`) rather than a version resolved from the npm registry. Installing this package causes npm to fetch and install arbitrary code from that bucket into the consumer's node_modules, where it becomes executable at require time by the parent project. The bucket is not a publisher-matched or npm-registry destination, the URL path contains the token `depenconf` (dependency-confusion), the package name resembles legitimate ESLint release tooling, and the 99.9.1 version number is characteristic of dependency-confusion lures. The package structure — empty main, no independent utility, sole purpose is pulling a tarball from an anonymous bucket — is a delivery-vector shape, not a real library.

All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.
