MAL-2026-18046 Malicious code in @an1mshnpmb9c84920/gat-scope-target-125ec19a (npm)

Package @an1mshnpmb9c84920/[email protected] contains two files and no observable installer-harm behavior. There are no lifecycle scripts fetching or executing remote content, no reads of installer secret paths, no network exfiltration primitives, and no obfuscated payloads. The random-looking scope and name suggest a placeholder, test, or security-research artifact rather than a functional library.

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.
