MAL-2026-10557: Malicious code in @cw-ui/micro-ui-loader (npm)
The npm package @cw-ui/micro-ui-loader contains malicious code that compromises any computer on which it is installed or running. The compromise is severe enough that all secrets and keys stored on the affected system should be rotated immediately from a different, trusted machine. Removal of the package alone does not guarantee elimination of the malicious software, as full control may have been given to an attacker.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The @cw-ui/micro-ui-loader package distributed via npm has been identified as containing malicious code. Installation or execution of this package results in a full compromise of the host system. Due to the nature of the compromise, attackers may have gained persistent control, making simple removal insufficient to restore system integrity. Immediate secret and key rotation from a secure environment is recommended to mitigate potential credential theft or misuse.
Potential Impact
Complete system compromise on any machine with the package installed or running. Potential exposure and theft of all stored secrets and keys. Persistent malicious presence may remain even after package removal, indicating possible backdoors or additional malware installed by the attacker.
Mitigation Recommendations
Remove the @cw-ui/micro-ui-loader package from all affected systems. Rotate all secrets and keys stored on compromised machines immediately, using a separate, trusted device. Conduct a thorough investigation and remediation of the affected systems, as removal of the package alone does not guarantee elimination of all malicious components.
