Malicious package

@airbnb-extended/typescript-confignpm

Advisory published Updated

@airbnb-extended/typescript-config is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-17184) that typosquats a legitimate package to trick installs (malicious version 99.9.1). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

Malicious code in @airbnb-extended/typescript-config (npm)

MAL-2026-17184
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall @airbnb-extended/typescript-config

What this malware does

package.json for @airbnb-extended/[email protected] declares a dependency ltidisafe sourced from a bare HTTPS tarball URL (https://ltidi.storage.googleapis.com/depenconf/ltidisafe-3.7.8.tgz) instead of a registry version range. On npm install, npm fetches and installs whatever bytes that URL returns, executing any lifecycle scripts inside the fetched tarball. The source is unpinned by integrity hash, is not the npm registry, and is unrelated to any Airbnb-published infrastructure. The scope/name also mimics the well-known @airbnb/typescript-config package, and the version 99.9.1 is implausibly high — a dependency-confusion / lure shape designed to win resolution against a legitimate internal or public package. The tarball URL is mutable by whoever controls the storage bucket, so the delivered payload can change at any time.

Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. 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.

Detection & response playbook

Typosquat
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for @airbnb-extended/typescript-config (version 99.9.1).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    @airbnb-extended/typescript-config is a typosquat — you almost certainly intended a legitimately-named package. Remove @airbnb-extended/typescript-config, install the correct package, and rotate any secrets exposed during the install since post-install scripts may have already run.

  3. Did it already run?

    If @airbnb-extended/typescript-config was installed, its post-install payload may already have run. Removing the package does not undo that — check outbound connections and credential use from the install window onward.

Frequently asked questions

No. @airbnb-extended/typescript-config on npm has been identified as a malicious package (version 99.9.1 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.
