Advisory published Updated

Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall txs-random-lib

What this malware does

Package [email protected] was inspected but no concrete a static rule matches or traced-code findings are available for this verdict. The behavioral trace engaged with the package's files but its output was withheld by the model provider's safety filter, which typically triggers on content resembling operational malware (credential theft, exfiltration primitives, shell/remote-execution code). Without corroborated behavioral evidence naming a specific data read, destination, or execution primitive, the package's actual behavior cannot be described from the available signals. The name pattern and absence of any observable legitimate purpose in what was scanned leave the disposition ambiguous.

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 stealer
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for txs-random-lib (version 1.0.1).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    txs-random-lib 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If txs-random-lib 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.

Frequently asked questions

No. txs-random-lib on npm has been identified as a malicious package (version 1.0.1 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.

Detect & block this

O3 blocks txs-random-lib-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
