@sourceflow-uk/sourceflow-trackernpm
Advisory published Updated
@sourceflow-uk/sourceflow-tracker is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-5430) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 99.91.9). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in @sourceflow-uk/sourceflow-tracker (npm)
What this malware does
package.json declares a dependency ltidisafe whose version specifier is the raw URL https://storage.googleapis.com/lscunpentest/pack_ux_foundry.tgz — a tarball hosted on a generic Google Cloud Storage bucket unrelated to the package's nominal publisher (@sourceflow-uk). On npm install, npm fetches and installs that tarball as a transitive dependency, executing any lifecycle scripts (preinstall/install/postinstall) it contains on the installer's machine. The URL is not version-pinned, not hash-verified, and not under the publisher's control: the bucket owner can swap the tarball contents at any time, so a future install delivers different bytes than a present install with no package change. The wrapper package itself is hollow — index.js only runs console.log("hello from lslslslslss"), the description is the garbled string lspodcc, the author is lslsls, and the version is 99.91.9. These attributes are inconsistent with the advertised "sourceflow tracker" functionality and consistent with a throwaway lure whose sole purpose is to chain-load the third-party tarball into the installer's dependency tree.
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
Malicious packageFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for @sourceflow-uk/sourceflow-tracker (version 99.91.9).
If you installed it — respond
Remove @sourceflow-uk/sourceflow-tracker 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 @sourceflow-uk/sourceflow-tracker 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 @sourceflow-uk/sourceflow-tracker-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.
