MAL-2026-10650: Malicious code in install-skia (npm)
The npm package 'install-skia' version 1.0.0 contains malicious code or depends on a package with malicious code. Installing or running this package can fully compromise the affected computer, potentially exposing all stored secrets and keys. Removal of the package does not guarantee elimination of all malicious software introduced. Immediate rotation of all secrets and keys from a separate, uncompromised system is strongly advised.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The 'install-skia' npm package version 1.0.0 has been identified as containing malicious code or relying on a dependency with malicious code. According to sources including Amazon Inspector and the GitHub Security Advisory for malware, any system with this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. The malicious code may grant attackers full control over the system, and simply removing the package may not eradicate all malicious components. The advisory recommends immediate secret and key rotation from a different, secure machine.
Potential Impact
Systems with 'install-skia' version 1.0.0 installed or running are considered fully compromised. Attackers may have gained full control of the affected computer, risking exposure and theft of all stored secrets and keys. The presence of the malicious package undermines system integrity and confidentiality. Removal of the package alone does not ensure complete remediation of the compromise.
Mitigation Recommendations
Remove the 'install-skia' package version 1.0.0 from affected systems. Immediately rotate all secrets and keys stored on the compromised system using a separate, secure computer. Because full control may have been granted to attackers, consider the affected system untrusted and perform a thorough incident response and system rebuild as needed. No official patch or fix is available; remediation relies on removal and secret rotation.
