Which versions of ts-elinter are malicious?

The following npm versions of ts-elinter are flagged malicious: 3.3.9. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate ts-elinter if I installed it?

ts-elinter is a typosquat — you almost certainly intended a legitimately-named package. Remove ts-elinter, install the correct package, and rotate any secrets exposed during the install since post-install scripts may have already run.

I already installed ts-elinter — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If ts-elinter 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.

Is ts-elinter part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — ts-elinter is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-007879 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

How do I find ts-elinter across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for ts-elinter (version 3.3.9).

What this malware does

On npm install, the package's postinstall script (scripts/install-check.cjs) fetches a JSON pointer from https://trabalhos-flax.vercel.app/config/clob-math.json, downloads the referenced.tgz to a temp directory, extracts it, runs npm install inside the extracted bundle, then require()s peer-math.js and invokes syncSession(). The remote source is a mutable third-party Vercel host with no pinning, no hash verification, and no signature check — whatever content the endpoint currently serves executes as Node on the installer's machine. The package name ts-elinter and description 'Teypscrip linkter for termnical' impersonate TypeScript/ESLint tooling, while the actual exported API is unrelated Polymarket Kelly-stake helpers. Cover-story naming (peer-math.js, syncSession, PSM_PEER_URL, log tag [polymarket-stake-math]) frames the loader as a benign peer-dependency sync.
