sc-hydrate-carousel-pricenpm
Advisory published Updated
sc-hydrate-carousel-price is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-18291) 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 sc-hydrate-carousel-price (npm)
What this malware does
package.json declares a dependency ltidisafe whose source is a bare HTTPS tarball URL (https://ltidi.storage.googleapis.com/depenconf/ltidisafe-4.0.3.tgz) rather than a registry version range. On npm install, npm fetches whatever bytes are served at that URL and installs them, running any lifecycle scripts contained in the fetched tarball. There is no version pin, no integrity hash, and no signature check, so the contents are mutable and controlled by whoever controls that storage bucket. The package's own shipped code is an inert stub (index.js is module.exports = {};), so the manifest line is effectively the entire delivered payload — the published package functions as a loader for externally hosted code. The implausibly high version (99.9.1) combined with the sc-hydrate-carousel-price name is consistent with a dependency-confusion shape intended to win resolution against an internal package.

Detection & response playbook
Malicious packageFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for sc-hydrate-carousel-price (version 99.9.1).
If you installed it — respond
Remove sc-hydrate-carousel-price 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.
Did it already run?
If sc-hydrate-carousel-price 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.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks sc-hydrate-carousel-price-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.
