Which versions of typscript-core are malicious?

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

How do I remediate typscript-core if I installed it?

typscript-core is a typosquat — you almost certainly intended a legitimately-named package. Remove typscript-core, install the correct package, and rotate any secrets exposed during the install since post-install scripts may have already run.

I already installed typscript-core — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If typscript-core 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 typscript-core part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — typscript-core is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-018194 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 typscript-core across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for typscript-core (version 1.0.0).

What this malware does

typscript-core is a typosquat of the 'typescript' package. Its scripts/postinstall.js reconstructs a GitHub download URL and shell commands from byte arrays XOR-decoded with the key 'stf2026', downloads a binary to %TEMP%\main.exe, and spawns it detached with windowsHide:true on win32 (and via a PowerShell bridge on WSL). The same postinstall also POSTs platform information to a hardcoded bare-IP endpoint at http://193.70.34.101:20099/vote, with the IP assembled from a four-element string array to evade static search. The URLs, shell commands, and destination IP are all obfuscated and reconstructed at runtime.
