@sqlite-panel/createsqlnpm
Advisory published Updated
@sqlite-panel/createsql is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-10490) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 1.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in @sqlite-panel/createsql (npm)
What this malware does
The package's main entry point (index.js) fetches a hardcoded GitHub Gist owned by 'getchainverse' via api.github.com and passes the returned file content directly to eval() at load time. Any consumer that require()s or imports @sqlite-panel/createsql executes whatever JavaScript the gist owner has published, with full Node.js process privileges on the installer's machine. The gist source is mutable and controlled by a third party, with no pinning, hash, or signature verification. The package ships no SQL functionality despite its name; the entire module is the remote-eval dropper. Package metadata (author, description) is empty, and the name appears designed to attract developers searching for SQLite tooling.
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 @sqlite-panel/createsql (version 1.0.0).
If you installed it — respond
Remove @sqlite-panel/createsql 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 @sqlite-panel/createsql 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 @sqlite-panel/createsql-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.
