MAL-2026-10366: Malicious code in ratelimitsucks10 (npm)
The npm package 'ratelimitsucks10' contains malicious code that fully compromises any computer on which it is installed or running. The compromise includes potential unauthorized access to all secrets and keys stored on the affected system. Removing the package alone does not guarantee removal of all malicious software, as the attacker may have established persistent control. Immediate rotation of all secrets and keys from a separate, uncompromised system is strongly recommended.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The 'ratelimitsucks10' npm package is identified as malicious software that, when installed or executed, results in a complete compromise of the host computer. This includes unauthorized access and control, potentially exposing all stored secrets and keys. Due to the severity of the compromise, simple removal of the package is insufficient to restore system integrity. The advisory recommends treating any system with this package as fully compromised and taking immediate remediation steps such as secret rotation from a different machine.
Potential Impact
Any system with the 'ratelimitsucks10' package installed or running is considered fully compromised, with attackers potentially having full control over the system and access to all stored secrets and keys. This poses a critical risk to confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system and its data.
Mitigation Recommendations
Remove the 'ratelimitsucks10' package immediately. However, since the system is likely fully compromised, removal alone is insufficient. Rotate all secrets and keys from a separate, uncompromised system to prevent unauthorized access. Consider rebuilding or restoring the affected system from a known good backup to ensure complete removal of malicious software.
