ts-utility-plusnpm
Advisory published Updated
ts-utility-plus is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-13617) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 1.3.2). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in ts-utility-plus (npm)
What this malware does
The package's default export getPlugin performs an HTTPS request to a hardcoded bare-IP endpoint at https://31.97.137.157:45000/icons/109 and passes the response field data.credits into new Function('require','module',...) with require, process, Buffer, and other Node globals injected as arguments, then invokes the constructed function. This gives the operator of that IP arbitrary code execution inside the installer's Node process whenever the package is required and its default export is called. A cover-story of Font Awesome / icon CDN naming (IconProvider, iconDomain, /ajax/libs/font-awesome/..., bearrtoken:"logo") surrounds the real payload URL, which is assembled by concatenating protocol+separator+domain+path where domain is the bare IP. The declared dependencies (@primno/dpapi, better-sqlite3, node-machine-id) are consistent with a follow-on credential/browser-secret stealer delivered through this channel.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for ts-utility-plus (version 1.3.2).
If you installed it — respond
ts-utility-plus 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-utility-plus 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-utility-plus-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
