Every version was published to cause harm.\n\nTask:\n1. Search this repository's dependency manifests and lockfiles for the package, including transitive dependencies.\n2. 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-2026-13982/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-13982/index.md)","id":"MAL-2026-13982","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-13982/index.md","name":"MAL-2026-13982","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3qfv-pgqh-pvpw"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":null,"cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"in-install@99.9.1 declares its `ltidisafe` dependency as an HTTPS tarball URL hosted on a Google Cloud Storage bucket (`https://ltidi.storage.googleapis.com/depenconf/ltidisafe-3.6.9.tgz`) rather than a registry-resolved package. Running `npm install in-install` fetches that tarball and installs it into the installer's node_modules, executing whatever install/import-time code it ships. The bucket path is mutable by whoever controls it, is not subject to npm registry review, and is not pinned to a registry-audited artifact, so the bytes delivered at install time can be changed at any moment without a version bump. The package's own index.js is an empty export; the sole observable effect of installing it is pulling arbitrary off-registry code into the installer's environment.\n\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
