Malicious package

mkt-ui-librarynpm

Malicious code in mkt-ui-library (npm)

MAL-2026-15540
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall mkt-ui-library

What this malware does

package.json declares a dependency whose key ("mkt-ui-library") equals the package's own name and whose value is a bare HTTPS URL, https://repo.securityctrl.com/mkt-ui-library, instead of a registry version range. On npm install, npm fetches whatever tarball is served at that URL and installs it, executing any lifecycle scripts inside it, with no version pin and no integrity check. The shipped source is an inert stub (index.js only performs a console.log), so the manifest line is the entire payload: whoever controls repo.securityctrl.com controls the code that runs on the installer's machine. The self-referencing dependency name (key equals the package's own name at an implausibly high version 45.0.0) is a dependency-confusion shape that biases resolvers toward this artifact over any legitimate internal package.

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 package
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for mkt-ui-library (version 45.0.0).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    Remove mkt-ui-library 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If mkt-ui-library 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.

Frequently asked questions

No. mkt-ui-library on npm has been identified as a malicious package (version 45.0.0 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.

Detect & block this

O3 blocks mkt-ui-library-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the malicious outbound activity and severs the channel.
