Which versions of eslint-commit-parser are malicious?

The following npm versions of eslint-commit-parser are flagged malicious: 1.0.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate eslint-commit-parser if I installed it?

Remove eslint-commit-parser 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.

I already installed eslint-commit-parser — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If eslint-commit-parser 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 eslint-commit-parser part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — eslint-commit-parser is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-007769, GHSA-qmq6-r6mp-r586 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

How do I find eslint-commit-parser across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for eslint-commit-parser (version 1.0.0).

Immediate action

What this malware does

The package is published under the name eslint-commit-parser but its contents are a verbatim copy of the supertest HTTP-testing library — package.json carries supertest's description ("SuperAgent driven library for testing HTTP servers") and repository URL (https://github.com/ladjs/supertest.git), and the shipped source is supertest's. A developer who installs eslint-commit-parser expecting an ESLint commit parser receives unrelated code. package.json additionally declares a runtime dependency on express-mocha-test@^0.0.1, but no file in the tarball requires or imports that module — its only effect on the installer is to be resolved and installed alongside the carrier. The combination of a deceptive package name, contents that have no relation to the advertised identity, and an unused low-version unfamiliar transitive is the standard namespace-abuse / dependency-confusion carrier shape: the host package is hollow with respect to its declared identity and its purpose on install is to drag express-mocha-test onto the installer's machine.

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.

The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'eslint-commit-parser' @ 1.0.0 (npm) as malicious.

It is considered malicious because:

The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity.
