Which versions of typescrip-cli are malicious?

The following npm versions of typescrip-cli are flagged malicious: 1.0.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate typescrip-cli if I installed it?

typescrip-cli establishes remote access, so treat any host that installed it as fully compromised. Isolate the machine, remove the package, rotate all credentials it could reach, and rebuild from a trusted image rather than cleaning in place — a backdoor may have planted additional persistence.

I already installed typescrip-cli — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If typescrip-cli 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.

Is typescrip-cli part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — typescrip-cli is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-018187 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

How do I find typescrip-cli across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for typescrip-cli (version 1.0.0).

What this malware does

Package name 'typescrip-cli' typosquats 'typescript-cli'; index.js exports an empty object and the package has no library functionality. scripts/postinstall.js hides its network destinations and command lines inside four numeric byte arrays that are XOR-decoded at runtime with the key 'stf2026'. The decoded URL is https://github.com/bebra1/qPzM50V1AKG0rVlH/releases/download/null/main.exe (an unrelated personal GitHub account, mutable 'null' release tag). On Windows the script downloads that executable to %TEMP%\main.exe and spawns it detached. On WSL/virtualized Linux it decodes a PowerShell launcher and bridge script and passes the concatenated command to child_process.exec with windowsHide:true, running the same payload on the Windows host across the WSL boundary. In parallel, postinstall POSTs a JSON body identifying the host platform to a hardcoded bare-IP beacon at http://193.70.34.101:20099/vote, with the host string reassembled from a split array ['193','70','34','101'].join('.') to avoid literal-string detection.
