Malicious code in uipath-sugar-sell (npm) Remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
What this malware does
Package [email protected] exhibits the canonical dependency-confusion shape: an internal-sounding name targeting a UiPath/SugarSell namespace, a 99.9.1 version overshoot designed to win semver resolution against any private registry, an empty index.js (module.exports = {}) so the package provides no actual functionality, and a single dependency ltidisafe declared as a direct URL https://ltidi.storage.googleapis.com/depenconf/ltidisafe-2.7.8.tgz. The path segment depenconf is explicit naming of the dependency-confusion technique. Installing this package causes npm to fetch and install the off-registry tarball from the Google Cloud Storage bucket, bypassing the public registry's audit surface; any lifecycle scripts in that tarball execute on the installer's machine at npm install time, and the tarball contents are mutable by whoever controls the bucket.
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
Malicious packageFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for uipath-sugar-sell (version 99.9.1). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging uipath-sugar-sell across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove uipath-sugar-sell from your project and lockfile, then assume any secrets accessible to the build or runtime were exposed: rotate API keys, tokens, and credentials, and audit for unexpected outbound activity or persistence.
Did it already run?
If uipath-sugar-sell 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 uipath-sugar-sell 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.
