markdown-editable-tablenpm
markdown-editable-table is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-10452) that typosquats a legitimate package to trick installs (malicious versions 2.4.2, 2.4.3, 2.4.4). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in markdown-editable-table (npm)
What this malware does
The package's package.json declares a preinstall hook (node index.d.js) that runs automatically on npm install. The script in index.d.js base64-decodes a payload whose decoded body fetches JavaScript from https://everydaynodechecker-39143n.vercel.app/api/key?mem=root1 and passes the response to eval. Both the destination URL (hidden inside a base64 blob) and the eval identifier (reassembled from the char-code array [101,118,97,108] via String.fromCharCode and invoked as globalThis[tag](text)) are obfuscated. The package metadata (repository wooorm/markdown-table, description, funding) impersonates the legitimate markdown-table package while shipping unrelated code, indicating a typosquat lure. Installing the package results in arbitrary attacker-controlled JavaScript executing on 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.

Detection & response playbook
TyposquatFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for markdown-editable-table (3 malicious versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging markdown-editable-table across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
markdown-editable-table is a typosquat — you almost certainly intended a legitimately-named package. Remove markdown-editable-table, install the correct package, and rotate any secrets exposed during the install since post-install scripts may have already run.
Did it already run?
If markdown-editable-table 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 markdown-editable-table 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.
