## What is MAL-2026-10966?

MAL-2026-10966 is a malicious package in commonweb-card, published on 21 Jul 2026. 

### Official description

commonweb-card@99.9.1 ships an effectively empty main module (index.js exports an empty object) and its package.json declares a dependency 'ltidisafe' whose version specifier is a direct HTTPS tarball URL to an anonymous Google Cloud Storage bucket: https://ltidi.storage.googleapis.com/depenconf/ltidisafe-3.5.2.tgz. On `npm install`, npm downloads and installs the tarball at that URL and executes any lifecycle scripts (preinstall/install/postinstall) and top-level require side effects it contains. The tarball host is not the npm registry, not a documented vendor publisher, and not tied to the wrapper package's stated identity; its contents are controlled solely by whoever owns the GCS bucket and can be mutated at any time without a package version bump. The high version number (99.9.1) combined with a hollow wrapper and a remote tarball dependency matches the dependency-confusion loader pattern.

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.

The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'commonweb-card' @ 99.9.1 (npm) as malicious.

It is considered malicious because:

- The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity.

## What should I do about MAL-2026-10966?
