What is MAL-2026-18279?

Official description
package.json declares the sole dependency
ltidisafe as a direct HTTPS tarball URL (https://ltidi.storage.googleapis.com/depenconf/ltidisafe-3.9.1.tgz) instead of a registry version range. On npm install, npm fetches that URL and installs whatever bytes it returns, running any lifecycle scripts contained in the fetched tarball, with no version pin and no integrity check. The shipped index.js is an empty stub, so dependency resolution from this off-registry source is the entire install-time effect of the package. Control of that storage bucket equates to code execution on any machine that installs this package. The scoped name resembling an internal/kit package (@fmr-ap153177/apex-kit-icons) at an implausibly high version (99.9.1) is consistent with a dependency-confusion lure shape.What should I do about MAL-2026-18279?
Remove the package from your dependencies and lockfiles, then rotate any secrets on machines where it was installed.
