@druids/uinpm
Advisory published Updated
@druids/ui is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-4385) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 99.9.1). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in @druids/ui (npm)
What this malware does
The package's package.json declares a dependency ltidisafe resolved not from the npm registry but as a direct tarball URL: https://ltidi.storage.googleapis.com/depenconf/ltidisafe-2.6.2.tgz. On npm install, npm will fetch and install that tarball, executing whatever lifecycle scripts and code it contains on the installer's machine with no audit trail in this package's published source. Several corroborating signals indicate this is dependency-confusion / namespace-abuse tooling rather than a legitimate UI library: the GCS bucket path literally contains the string depenconf (a common shorthand for dependency-confusion); the package version is 99.9.1, the high-version-squat pattern used to outrank a private internal package of the same name; package metadata (author, description) is empty; and the package's own index.js is near-empty, providing no library functionality consistent with the @druids/ui name. The installer-side harm is the silent inclusion of an attacker-controlled, registry-unaudited transitive into the dependency tree.

Detection & response playbook
Malicious packageFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for @druids/ui (version 99.9.1).
If you installed it — respond
Remove @druids/ui from your project and lockfile, then assume any secrets accessible to the build or runtime were exposed: rotate API keys, tokens, and credentials, and audit for unexpected outbound activity or persistence.
Did it already run?
If @druids/ui 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 @druids/ui-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.
