# MAL-2026-13421: Malicious code in @trackunit/iris-app-sdk-vite (npm)


- **Type:** Malicious package
- **Package:** `@trackunit/iris-app-sdk-vite` (npm)
- **Published:** 6 Aug 2026

## What is MAL-2026-13421?

MAL-2026-13421 is a malicious package in @trackunit/iris-app-sdk-vite, published on 6 Aug 2026. 

### 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.
