If it is present, remove it, regenerate the lockfile with the project's package manager, and replace whatever it was used for.\n3. List any CI runners, developer machines or containers that installed it, so their secrets can be rotated.\n4. If the package is not used anywhere, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-13439/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-13439/index.md)","id":"MAL-2026-13439","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-13439/index.md","name":"MAL-2026-13439","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wmh3-jw93-5988"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":null,"cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"commonweb-balance@99.9.1 is an empty shell package (empty index.js, no functionality) whose only effect on install is resolving its single declared runtime dependency `ltidisafe` from a direct tarball URL at `https://ltidi.storage.googleapis.com/depenconf/ltidisafe-3.4.5.tgz` rather than from the npm registry. On `npm install`, npm downloads and installs whatever bytes are served at that URL into the installer's node_modules, bringing that code into the dependency tree outside npm registry review. The GCS bucket is publisher-unrelated (no matching author or homepage metadata on the host package) and mutable — whoever controls the bucket can change the served tarball contents at any time without republishing to npm. The host package has no legitimate function other than to pull this out-of-registry dependency into installers, matching the dependency-chain dropper / lure pattern.\n\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
