The npm package ing-web-v5 at version 99.9.1 has been identified as malicious by multiple sources including Amazon Inspector, GHSA malware reports, and the OpenSSF Package Analysis project. The package contains code that communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity, indicating it is designed to compromise the host system. Any system with this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised, as the package may have granted external actors full control. Due to the nature of the compromise, simply removing the package does not guarantee removal of all malicious components.

Systems with ing-web-v5 version 99.9.1 installed or running are considered fully compromised. Attackers may have gained full control over the system, potentially exposing all stored secrets and keys. This can lead to unauthorized access, data theft, and further system compromise. The presence of malicious communication to a known malicious domain confirms active malicious behavior.

Remove the ing-web-v5 package version 99.9.1 immediately from affected systems. Rotate all secrets and keys stored on the compromised system from a separate, secure computer to prevent unauthorized access. Because full system compromise is likely, consider rebuilding the affected system from a known good backup or reinstalling the operating system to ensure complete removal of malicious software. Monitor for any signs of persistent compromise.
