Malicious package

risk-detectionnpm

Advisory published Updated

risk-detection is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-17563) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 99.9.1). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

Malicious code in risk-detection (npm)

MAL-2026-17563
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall risk-detection

What this malware does

package.json declares a dependency ltidisafe whose source is an off-registry tarball URL (https://ltidi.storage.googleapis.com/depenconf/ltidisafe-3.8.1.tgz) rather than a semver range on the npm registry. The shipped index.js is an empty stub (module.exports = {}), so the manifest URL is the entire install-time surface. On npm install, npm fetches whatever bytes that URL returns — unpinned, no integrity hash, no registry publisher check — installs the resulting package, and runs any lifecycle scripts inside it. Whoever controls that bucket path controls code execution 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

Malicious package
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for risk-detection (version 99.9.1).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    Remove risk-detection 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 risk-detection 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. risk-detection on npm has been identified as a malicious package (version 99.9.1 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.

Detect & block this

O3 blocks risk-detection-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.
