Published: 07/13/2026 (07/13/2026, 06:12:56 UTC)
Source: GCVE Database
Product: @gt-test-exp/profiler-exp-00000005

Description

The npm package '@gt-test-exp/profiler-exp-00000005' contains malicious code that can fully compromise any computer on which it is installed or running. Installation of this package may result in an attacker gaining full control over the affected system. Immediate removal of the package is recommended, but this may not fully eliminate the threat as the attacker could have installed additional malicious software. All secrets and keys stored on the compromised system should be rotated from a different, secure computer.

Technical Analysis

The '@gt-test-exp/profiler-exp-00000005' npm package is identified as malicious software that, when installed or executed, can lead to a complete compromise of the host system. This compromise includes potential unauthorized access and control by an attacker. Due to the severity of the compromise, simply removing the package may not be sufficient to restore system integrity. The advisory strongly recommends rotating all secrets and keys from a separate, uncompromised machine to mitigate ongoing risks.

Potential Impact

Any system with this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised, implying that attackers may have gained full control. This can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, credential theft, and persistent malicious presence on the system. The compromise undermines trust in the system's security and may require comprehensive incident response measures.

Mitigation Recommendations

Remove the '@gt-test-exp/profiler-exp-00000005' package immediately from all affected systems. Rotate all secrets and keys stored on compromised machines using a different, secure computer to prevent further unauthorized access. Because the attacker may have installed additional malicious software, consider a full system audit and reinstallation from trusted sources. No official patch or fix is available as this is a malicious package rather than a vulnerability in legitimate software.
