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.

Any `npm install turing-sdk` resolves and installs that tarball, whose contents are mutable on the author's host and never seen by registry scanners. Per the package's own README, that dependency downloads a `turing` binary at install. The published `index.js` main entry is obfuscator.io-style obfuscated (rotated string-array decoder, hex-named identifiers, self-defending IIFE) and acts as a thin wrapper that spawns the sibling `turing` binary, passing the caller's API keys through env vars (OPENAI_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, GEMINI_API_KEY, etc.). Default provider presets route requests to `*.tap365.org` gateway hosts (e.g. grok74.tap365.org). The combination — off-registry mutable tarball source + opaque downloaded binary + obfuscated wrapper that hands user credentials to that binary + author-operated gateway as default routing target — gives the publisher a free channel to ship arbitrary bytes to installers and to receive caller-supplied API keys.","ecosystems":["npm"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":null,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":null,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":null,"nuclei":null,"refs":[],"tier":null},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Malicious code in turing-sdk (npm)","id":"MAL-2026-4696","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"malicious","links":{"ecosystem":"npm","product":null,"products":[],"type":null,"year":"2026"},"n_packages":1,"n_references":null,"packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":[],"introduced":[],"last_affected":[],"package":"turing-sdk","purl":"pkg:npm/turing-sdk","source":"MAL-2026-4696"}],"products":null,"published":"2026-05-21","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"Apache-2.0","name":"OpenSSF Malicious Packages","prefix":"MAL"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":null,"updated":null,"vendors":null},"summary":null,"url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-4696/"}
