Malicious code in commons-ui-styles (npm) Remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
What this malware does
[email protected] is an empty placeholder package (index.js exports {}, description/author blank, version bumped to 99.9.1 — the classic dependency-confusion override shape) whose only on-install effect is dependency resolution. Its package.json declares a transitive dependency ltidisafe resolved from a hardcoded non-registry tarball URL (https://ltidi.storage.googleapis.com/depenconf/ltidisafe-2.9.6.tgz) on a Google Cloud Storage bucket. The path segment literally contains depenconf, indicating dependency-confusion tooling. On npm install commons-ui-styles, npm fetches whatever bytes that bucket currently serves and installs them as a dependency; any preinstall/install/postinstall lifecycle scripts in the fetched tarball run on the installer's host. The bucket owner controls the payload contents at any time, with no version pinning to the npm registry, no integrity check beyond what npm computes against the live download, and no relationship to a documented publisher.
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
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for commons-ui-styles (version 99.9.1). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging commons-ui-styles across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove commons-ui-styles 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 commons-ui-styles 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 commons-ui-styles 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.
