All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The 'lint-builds' npm package versions 1.0.0 and 1.0.5 have been identified as malicious. Installing or running these versions results in a full system compromise, potentially allowing attackers complete control over the affected computer. Due to the nature of the compromise, simply uninstalling the package may not remove all malicious artifacts. This threat is documented under MAL-2026-6843 and GHSA-3cjq-q62g-3hf2. No CVSS score is assigned, and no known exploits in the wild have been reported.
Potential Impact
Systems with 'lint-builds' versions 1.0.0 or 1.0.5 installed or running should be considered fully compromised. Attackers may have gained full control, risking exposure or theft of all stored secrets and keys. The integrity and confidentiality of the affected system are severely impacted. Removal of the package alone is insufficient to restore system trustworthiness.
Mitigation Recommendations
Remove the 'lint-builds' package versions 1.0.0 and 1.0.5 immediately. Rotate all secrets and keys stored on the affected system from a different, trusted computer. Because full control may have been given to an attacker, consider rebuilding or thoroughly cleaning the affected system to ensure complete removal of malicious software. No official patch or fix is available; avoidance of these versions is critical.
