Malicious code in @fmr-ap153177/apex-kit-icons (npm)

MAL-2026-18279
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall @fmr-ap153177/apex-kit-icons

What this malware does

package.json declares the sole dependency ltidisafe as a direct HTTPS tarball URL (https://ltidi.storage.googleapis.com/depenconf/ltidisafe-3.9.1.tgz) instead of a registry version range. On npm install, npm fetches that URL and installs whatever bytes it returns, running any lifecycle scripts contained in the fetched tarball, with no version pin and no integrity check. The shipped index.js is an empty stub, so dependency resolution from this off-registry source is the entire install-time effect of the package. Control of that storage bucket equates to code execution on any machine that installs this package. The scoped name resembling an internal/kit package (@fmr-ap153177/apex-kit-icons) at an implausibly high version (99.9.1) is consistent with a dependency-confusion lure shape.

Detection & response playbook

Malicious package

  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for @fmr-ap153177/apex-kit-icons (version 99.9.1).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    Remove @fmr-ap153177/apex-kit-icons 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If @fmr-ap153177/apex-kit-icons 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.
