MAL-2026-13441 Malicious code in consumerweb-creditcollection (npm)

[email protected] is a hollow package whose main index.js exports an empty object. Its sole runtime effect is pulling in a dependency ltidisafe pinned to an arbitrary tarball URL on a third-party Google Cloud Storage bucket (https://ltidi.storage.googleapis.com/depenconf/ltidisafe-3.5.3.tgz) rather than an npm registry entry. Installing this package causes npm to download and install code from that off-registry URL, which is outside npm registry scanning. The depenconf path segment, the internal-sounding package name, and the high version number 99.9.1 are consistent with a dependency-confusion / namespace-squat delivery vector where the lure package's only purpose is to force resolution of attacker-hosted code into the installer's dependency tree.

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.
