@sqlite-group/sql-creatornpm
@sqlite-group/sql-creator is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-10578) that typosquats a legitimate package to trick installs (malicious version 1.0.7). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in @sqlite-group/sql-creator (npm)
What this malware does
The package is published under a scope that impersonates SQLite (@sqlite-group) and declares itself as "cloud definitions for node", but the shipped index.js is a near-verbatim copy of the feross/buffer library with a single injected top-level statement: var ins = import('@sqlite-group/schema-generator');. This dynamic import fires on any require/import of the package, handing control to whatever top-level module code the sibling @sqlite-group/schema-generator ships. The cover-story mismatch (scope name suggesting SQLite tooling + description claiming cloud definitions + actual code being a Buffer polyfill + one injected loader line) is consistent with a dependency-confusion / namespace-piggyback loader stub whose sole purpose is to pull an attacker-controlled sibling into the installer's process on load. Installer harm is the code execution surface exposed by the sibling dependency, delivered transitively when this package is required.
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
TyposquatFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for @sqlite-group/sql-creator (version 1.0.7). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging @sqlite-group/sql-creator across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
@sqlite-group/sql-creator is a typosquat — you almost certainly intended a legitimately-named package. Remove @sqlite-group/sql-creator, 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 @sqlite-group/sql-creator was ever installed, its post-install/runtime payload may have already executed. O3's L7 egress monitoring and runtime eBPF sensors detect the credential exfiltration or command-and-control callback after install and block the malicious outbound channel, so you catch and contain the actual compromise — not just the presence of the package.
How O3 protects you
O3 blocks @sqlite-group/sql-creator before install through its supply-chain scanner, and if it has already run, detects and severs the exfiltration or C2 callback at runtime through L7 egress monitoring and eBPF.
