frontend-regulationsnpm

[email protected] is a near-empty wrapper (index.js exports an empty object) whose package.json declares the dependency 'ltidisafe' with the URL https://ltidi.storage.googleapis.com/depenconf/ltidisafe-3.3.3.tgz instead of a registry version. Installing this package causes npm to fetch a tarball from a Google Cloud Storage bucket unrelated to any documented publisher and place it into the installer's node_modules, where its lifecycle scripts and main entry execute during npm install. The wrapper package itself provides no functionality; its only effect is to smuggle the externally-hosted tarball into the dependency tree. The suspiciously high version number (99.9.1) combined with a hollow main entry and an off-registry dependency URL matches the dependency-chain dropper pattern.

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.
