What is MAL-2026-10490?

MAL-2026-10490 is a malicious package in @sqlite-panel/createsql, published on 13 Jul 2026.

Official description

The package's main entry point (index.js) fetches a hardcoded GitHub Gist owned by 'getchainverse' via api.github.com and passes the returned file content directly to eval() at load time. Any consumer that require()s or imports @sqlite-panel/createsql executes whatever JavaScript the gist owner has published, with full Node.js process privileges on the installer's machine. The gist source is mutable and controlled by a third party, with no pinning, hash, or signature verification. The package ships no SQL functionality despite its name; the entire module is the remote-eval dropper. Package metadata (author, description) is empty, and the name appears designed to attract developers searching for SQLite tooling.

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-2026-10490?

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