Malicious package

Published to npm · OSV MAL-2026-10447

What to do

Remove remarkable-table from every project, lockfile and image that pulls it in. Treat any host that installed it as compromised: rotate the credentials, tokens and keys it could read, from a clean machine.

Description

The remarkable-table npm package version 2.4.11 contains malicious code in its preinstall script that executes attacker-controlled JavaScript during installation. This script reconstructs and uses eval to run code fetched from a remote server, leading to arbitrary code execution on the installer's machine. The package is a typosquat of the legitimate markdown-table package. Installing this package compromises the host system, potentially exposing all stored secrets and keys. Removal of the package does not guarantee full remediation due to possible persistent compromise.

Impact

Any computer that installs remarkable-table version 2.4.11 is subject to arbitrary remote code execution during installation, leading to full system compromise. Attackers can execute any JavaScript code on the victim machine, potentially stealing secrets, credentials, and keys. Because the compromise occurs at install time and may persist beyond package removal, all secrets and keys on the affected system should be considered exposed and rotated immediately from a separate, trusted environment.

Defensive guidance

The affected package version is 2.4.11. Users should immediately remove this package if installed. Due to the full compromise risk, it is critical to rotate all secrets and keys stored on the affected system from a different, uncompromised machine. Monitor for any signs of persistent malicious activity. Avoid installing packages from untrusted or suspicious sources, especially typosquatted package names.

Summary

The remarkable-table npm package version 2.4.11 includes a preinstall script that reconstructs the 'eval' function from character codes and base64-decodes an embedded payload. This payload asynchronously fetches JavaScript code from a remote URL (https://everydaynodechecker-39143n.vercel.app/api/key?mem=root3) and executes it via eval. This results in arbitrary attacker-controlled code execution on any machine installing the package. The package name is a typosquat of the widely used markdown-table package, indicating intent to deceive users. The malicious behavior is obfuscated to evade detection. Due to the nature of the compromise, any system with this package installed should be considered fully compromised.
