Which versions of @squawk/airspace-data are malicious?

The following npm versions of @squawk/airspace-data are flagged malicious: 0.5.3, 0.5.4, 0.5.5, 0.5.6, 0.5.7. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate @squawk/airspace-data if I installed it?

@squawk/airspace-data is built to steal secrets, so assume every credential the build or runtime could read is compromised. Remove it from your project and lockfile, then rotate ALL exposed secrets — npm/registry tokens, cloud keys, CI/CD secrets, SSH keys, and any .env values — from a known-clean machine. Audit logs for unauthorized use of those credentials.

I already installed @squawk/airspace-data — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If @squawk/airspace-data 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.

Is @squawk/airspace-data part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — @squawk/airspace-data is associated with the GHSA-j5w5-5fj6-mwvv campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

Immediate action

Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.

npm uninstall @squawk/airspace-data

What this malware does

The package @squawk/airspace-data was found to contain malicious code.

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.

This package was compromised as part of the "Mini Shai-Hulud is back" worm by the TeamPCP threat actor.

The package will steal credentials and then propogate it to every package it has access to. The package also attempts to remain persistent.
