unified-platformnpm
Advisory published Updated
unified-platform is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-17566) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 99.9.1). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in unified-platform (npm)
What this malware does
package.json declares a single dependency 'ltidisafe' sourced directly from the off-registry URL https://ltidi.storage.googleapis.com/depenconf/ltidisafe-3.8.2.tgz, with no registry version range and no integrity hash. On npm install, npm fetches and installs whatever bytes that URL currently serves, executing any lifecycle scripts contained inside the fetched tarball under the installer's account. The GCS bucket host is not tied to any declared publisher of this package, and the fetched content can be changed at any time without a corresponding package republish. The shipped index.js is an empty stub, so the manifest's off-registry fetch is the package's entire effect on the installer. The package name 'unified-platform' at the implausibly high version 99.9.1 is consistent with a dependency-confusion lure targeting an internal name.
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
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for unified-platform (version 99.9.1).
If you installed it — respond
Remove unified-platform 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 unified-platform 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.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks unified-platform-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the malicious outbound activity and severs the channel.
