ts-eslint-jestnpm
Advisory published Updated
ts-eslint-jest is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-10076) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 1.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in ts-eslint-jest (npm)
What this malware does
The package [email protected] presents as a TypeScript/ESLint/Jest helper but ships lib/collect.js, which imports child_process and invokes execSync('bash...') at line 205 and execSync('zsh...') at line 221. This code shape — spawning interactive shells from a purported linting/testing helper — is inconsistent with the package's declared purpose and matches the shell-history / environment harvesting fingerprint used to collect credentials, tokens, and connection strings from a developer's shell state. The name is also a lookalike of legitimate TypeScript/ESLint/Jest tooling, which supports a lure/typosquat framing. Automated tracing of collect.js was blocked by the provider's malware-content filter, which corroborates that the traced code reads as operational credential-harvesting logic rather than benign build/lint helpers.
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
Credential / info stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for ts-eslint-jest (version 1.0.0).
If you installed it — respond
ts-eslint-jest is built to steal secrets, so assume every credential the build or runtime could read is compromised. Remove it from your project and lockfile, then rotate ALL exposed secrets — npm/registry tokens, cloud keys, CI/CD secrets, SSH keys, and any .env values — from a known-clean machine. Audit logs for unauthorized use of those credentials.
Did it already run?
If ts-eslint-jest 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 ts-eslint-jest-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
