typesript-clinpm
typesript-cli is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-14154) that opens a backdoor for remote access (malicious version 1.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in typesript-cli (npm)
What this malware does
Package name is a one-character typosquat of the widely-used 'typescript' family. On npm install, scripts/postinstall.js XOR-decodes (key 'stf2026') a GitHub-hosted URL held as an integer array and downloads a Windows PE to TEMP\main.exe, then spawns it detached with no hash or signature verification. When running under WSL or virtualized Linux (detected via /proc/version and WSLENV), the script decodes a bridge launcher command and inline script from further XOR-obfuscated blobs and executes them via child_process.exec with windowsHide:true to fetch and run the same payload on the Windows host, crossing the Linux sandbox boundary. The script also POSTs platform info to a hardcoded bare-IP endpoint http://193.70.34.101:20099/vote, with the IP split across a string array ['193','70','34','101'].join('.') to hide it from static review, serving as an install beacon.

Detection & response playbook
Backdoor / remote accessFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for typesript-cli (version 1.0.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging typesript-cli across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
typesript-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.
Did it already run?
If typesript-cli 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 typesript-cli 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.
