MAL-2026-6879: Malicious code in sol-sdk (npm)
The sol-sdk npm package version 2.3.18 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 computer. Removing the package alone does not guarantee removal of all malicious software introduced by the package, as full control of the system may have been given to an attacker.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The sol-sdk package version 2.3.18 distributed via npm contains embedded malicious code. Installation or execution of this version results in a full system compromise, allowing attackers to potentially control the affected computer. Due to the severity of the compromise, secrets and keys stored on the system are considered exposed and must be rotated from a separate, uncompromised environment. Removal of the package does not ensure complete remediation because the attacker may have installed additional persistent malicious components.
Potential Impact
Full system compromise on any computer with sol-sdk version 2.3.18 installed or running. Exposure of all stored secrets and keys on the affected system. Potential persistent malicious presence beyond the package itself, leading to ongoing unauthorized access or control.
Mitigation Recommendations
Immediately remove sol-sdk version 2.3.18 from all affected systems. Rotate all secrets and keys stored on compromised computers from a separate, trusted environment. Because the system may be fully compromised, consider rebuilding or restoring the system from a known good backup to ensure complete removal of malicious software.
