MAL-2026-6847: Malicious code in linter-entry (npm)
The npm package 'linter-entry' version 1.0.0 contains malicious code that compromises any computer on which it is installed or running. The presence of this package indicates a full system compromise, requiring immediate rotation of all secrets and keys from a separate, secure machine. Removing the package alone does not guarantee removal of all malicious software introduced by it.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The 'linter-entry' npm package version 1.0.0 is identified as malicious software that, once installed, fully compromises the host system. This includes potential unauthorized access and control by an outside entity. Due to the severity of the compromise, all sensitive credentials on the affected system must be rotated from a different, uncompromised device. The package removal is necessary but insufficient to fully remediate the threat, as the attacker may have installed additional persistent malicious components.
Potential Impact
Full compromise of any computer with 'linter-entry' version 1.0.0 installed or running. This includes potential unauthorized access to all stored secrets and keys, which must be considered compromised and rotated immediately. The system integrity is severely impacted, and attacker persistence cannot be ruled out even after package removal.
Mitigation Recommendations
Remove the 'linter-entry' package version 1.0.0 immediately. Rotate all secrets and keys from a separate, secure computer to prevent further unauthorized access. Because the system is fully compromised, consider rebuilding or restoring from a known good backup to ensure complete removal of malicious components.
