MAL-2026-6998 Malicious code in higherlogic-ocfe (npm)

Package [email protected] is a dependency-confusion lure targeting the Higher Logic vendor namespace. The published index.js is an empty module.exports = {} — the package ships no functionality. Its sole dependency is declared in package.json as a direct tarball URL (https://ltidi.storage.googleapis.com/depenconf/ltidisafe-3.1.4.tgz) rather than a registry-hosted version. On npm install, npm fetches that tarball from an arbitrary Google Cloud Storage bucket and executes any lifecycle scripts it contains on the installer's machine. The high version 99.9.1 is the standard dependency-confusion pattern used to override an internal private package of the same name during resolution, and the bucket path segment depenconf reinforces the attack intent. The installer cannot audit the fetched bytes via normal registry tooling, and the tarball contents are mutable at the bucket owner's discretion.

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.
