MAL-2026-6871: Malicious code in renderctx (npm)
The npm package 'renderctx' version 1.1.1 contains malicious code that compromises any computer on which it is installed or running. This compromise potentially grants full control to an outside entity, risking exposure of 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 'renderctx' npm package version 1.1.1 is identified as containing malicious code that fully compromises affected systems. Installation or execution of this package can lead to complete system compromise, including unauthorized access to secrets and keys. Due to the nature of the compromise, simply uninstalling the package may not remove all malicious components. This threat is cataloged under MAL-2026-6871 and GHSA-jq76-fhr4-3987, with no CVSS score assigned.
Potential Impact
Systems with 'renderctx' version 1.1.1 installed or running are considered fully compromised, with potential unauthorized access and control by an attacker. All secrets and keys stored on the affected system are at risk and should be considered exposed. The compromise may persist beyond removal of the package, indicating possible deeper system infection.
Mitigation Recommendations
Remove the 'renderctx' package version 1.1.1 immediately from affected systems. Rotate all secrets and keys from a separate, uncompromised system to prevent misuse. Because full system compromise is possible, consider rebuilding or thoroughly cleaning affected systems to ensure removal of all malicious components. Monitor for any signs of persistent compromise.
