Official description
This version of @trackunit/iris-app-sdk-vite declares
cross-keychain: ^1.1.0 in its package.json dependencies. cross-keychain is a package associated with the Shai-Hulud npm worm campaign, whose install-time lifecycle hooks harvest developer credentials (npm tokens, GitHub tokens, cloud credentials) and self-propagate by republishing tainted versions under the victim's identity. Running npm install against this @trackunit/iris-app-sdk-vite version resolves and executes cross-keychain's install scripts on the installer's machine. The version string (1.2.10-alpha-d785aff3531.0) also matches the anomalous alpha-tag pattern seen across other tainted @trackunit/* releases published during the Shai-Hulud incident window, and does not correspond to a legitimate maintainer release cadence.What should I do about MAL-2026-13421?
Remove the package from your dependencies and lockfiles, then rotate any secrets on machines where it was installed.
