- **Type:** Malicious package

## What is MAL-2026-10443?

MAL-2026-10443 is a malicious package in home-sections-web-ui, published on 13 Jul 2026. 

### Official description

package.json declares the dependency `ltidisafe` as a direct tarball URL (`https://storage.googleapis.com/lscunpentest/pack_ux_foundry.tgz`) hosted on an anonymous Google Cloud Storage bucket unrelated to any known publisher. Installing this package causes npm to fetch and install arbitrary, attacker-mutable JavaScript from that URL into the installer's dependency tree, bypassing the npm registry entirely. Package metadata is consistent with a throwaway lure: nonsensical author (`lslsls`), placeholder description (`lspodcc`), version `99.9.9`, and a bucket name (`lscunpentest`) suggesting pen-test / dependency-confusion tooling. The fetched tarball's contents are not pinned by hash and can be swapped at any time 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.

## What should I do about MAL-2026-10443?

Remove the package from your dependencies and lockfiles, then rotate any secrets on machines where it was installed.
