0
Critical
Published: 07/06/2026 (07/06/2026, 18:55:40 UTC)
Source: GCVE Database
Product: lint-builds

Description

The npm package 'lint-builds' versions 1.0.0 and 1.0.5 contain malicious code that can fully compromise any computer where it is installed or running. The compromise may allow an attacker to gain full control over the affected system. Removal of the package does not guarantee elimination of all malicious software introduced. Immediate rotation of all secrets and keys stored on the compromised machine is strongly advised.

Technical Analysis

The 'lint-builds' npm package versions 1.0.0 and 1.0.5 have been identified as malicious. Installing or running these versions results in a full system compromise, potentially allowing attackers complete control over the affected computer. Due to the nature of the compromise, simply uninstalling the package may not remove all malicious artifacts. This threat is documented under MAL-2026-6843 and GHSA-3cjq-q62g-3hf2. No CVSS score is assigned, and no known exploits in the wild have been reported.

Potential Impact

Systems with 'lint-builds' versions 1.0.0 or 1.0.5 installed or running should be considered fully compromised. Attackers may have gained full control, risking exposure or theft of all stored secrets and keys. The integrity and confidentiality of the affected system are severely impacted. Removal of the package alone is insufficient to restore system trustworthiness.

Mitigation Recommendations

Remove the 'lint-builds' package versions 1.0.0 and 1.0.5 immediately. Rotate all secrets and keys stored on the affected system from a different, trusted computer. Because full control may have been given to an attacker, consider rebuilding or thoroughly cleaning the affected system to ensure complete removal of malicious software. No official patch or fix is available; avoidance of these versions is critical.
