MAL-2026-10143: Malicious code in marked-prettier (npm)
The marked-prettier npm package contains malicious code that compromises any computer on which it is installed or run. This compromise is severe enough that all secrets and keys stored on the affected system should be considered exposed and require immediate rotation from a separate, trusted system. Removal of the package alone does not guarantee elimination of all malicious software introduced by its installation.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The marked-prettier package on npm has been identified as containing malicious code. Installation or execution of this package results in a full compromise of the affected computer, potentially allowing an attacker complete control. Due to the nature of the compromise, secrets and keys stored on the system are at risk and must be rotated immediately from a different, secure machine. The package removal is necessary but insufficient to fully remediate the infection, as additional malicious artifacts may persist.
Potential Impact
Full system compromise on any computer with the marked-prettier package installed or running. All stored secrets and keys on the system are exposed and must be rotated. The attacker may maintain persistent access beyond the presence of the package itself.
Mitigation Recommendations
Remove the marked-prettier package immediately. Rotate all secrets and keys stored on the affected system from a separate, trusted computer. Conduct a thorough investigation and remediation of the affected system to identify and remove any additional malicious software introduced by the package installation.
