@sqlite-prime/createsqlnpm
Advisory published Updated
@sqlite-prime/createsql is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-13715) that executes malicious code on install (malicious versions 1.0.0, 1.0.1). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in @sqlite-prime/createsql (npm)
What this malware does
On require/import, index.js constructs a GitHub Gist API URL (https://api.github.com/gists/198a0bbec7a6018e9250615d26e37b90, owned by user 'getchainverse'), fetches the gist JSON, and passes the first file's content directly to eval(). The executed code is not present in the package tarball and can be modified by the gist owner at any time, resulting in arbitrary code execution in any process that loads this package. The endpoint URL is assembled at runtime by string manipulation of a gist page URL, hiding the executed source from static review of the published artifact.
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-prime/createsql (2 malicious versions).
If you installed it — respond
Remove @sqlite-prime/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-prime/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-prime/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.
