MAL-2026-6897: Malicious code in ts-lint-builders (npm)
The ts-lint-builders npm package version 1.0.5 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. Simply removing the package does not guarantee removal of all malicious software introduced by it.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The ts-lint-builders package version 1.0.5 distributed via npm includes malicious code that, when installed or executed, fully compromises the host system. This compromise allows an attacker to gain full control, potentially exfiltrating secrets and keys stored on the machine. Due to the severity of the compromise, remediation requires not only removal of the package but also rotation of all credentials from a different, trusted environment. No CVSS score or official patch is available, and no known exploits in the wild have been reported.
Potential Impact
Any system with ts-lint-builders version 1.0.5 installed or running is considered fully compromised. Attackers may have gained full control over the system, risking exposure and theft of sensitive data including secrets and keys. The compromise is severe enough that removing the package alone does not ensure elimination of all malicious artifacts.
Mitigation Recommendations
Remove the ts-lint-builders package version 1.0.5 immediately. Rotate all secrets and keys stored on the compromised machine from a separate, secure computer. Due to the full compromise, additional forensic analysis and system restoration from a trusted backup are recommended. No official patch or fix is available; therefore, avoid using this package version entirely.
