What is MAL-2026-17772?

MAL-2026-17772 is a malicious package in liferay-workspace-scripts, published on 11 Oct 2026.

Official description

package.json declares the sole dependency ltidisafe as a bare HTTPS tarball URL (https://ltidi.storage.googleapis.com/depenconf/ltidisafe-3.8.5.tgz) instead of a registry version range. On npm install, npm fetches that URL and installs whatever bytes it returns, executing any lifecycle scripts inside the fetched package, with no version pin and no integrity hash. The shipped index.js is an empty stub, so the manifest is the entire published surface. The package name mirrors Liferay-ecosystem tooling and the version 99.9.1 is implausibly high for a legitimate release, consistent with a dependency-confusion lure designed to win resolution against an internal package name. Whoever controls the Google Cloud Storage bucket controls code executed on every installer's machine at install time.

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.

What should I do about MAL-2026-17772?

Remove the package from your dependencies and lockfiles, then rotate any secrets on machines where it was installed.
