What is MAL-2026-18281?

MAL-2026-18281 is a malicious package in @generic-means/ing-feat-scanner-libs, published on 25 Oct 2026.

Official description

package.json declares its sole dependency ltidisafe as a bare HTTPS tarball URL (https://ltidi.storage.googleapis.com/depenconf/ltidisafe-3.9.3.tgz) rather than a registry version range or a git ref pinned to a commit SHA. On npm install, npm fetches whatever bytes that URL currently returns and installs the resulting package, running any lifecycle scripts it contains. The tarball is unpinned, has no integrity hash, is not resolved through the npm registry, and the content at that URL can be swapped by whoever controls the storage bucket without any change to this package. The shipped index.js is an empty stub (module.exports = {}), so the off-registry dependency URL is effectively the entire payload delivered to installers. The dependency name does not correspond to a known npm package, and the storage.googleapis.com bucket is not an official registry endpoint.

What should I do about MAL-2026-18281?
