🛡️ MAL-2026-6989 — ag-charts-test

Malicious code in ag-charts-test (npm)

Source: amazon-inspector

[email protected] is a hollow package (empty index.js, no scripts, no documented functionality) whose sole effect on installers is resolving its single dependency ltidisafe from a direct HTTPS tarball URL on a third-party Google Cloud Storage bucket (https://ltidi.storage.googleapis.com/depenconf/ltidisafe-3.1.9.tgz) rather than through the npm registry. On npm install, the tarball is fetched from that bucket and its contents — including any lifecycle scripts — execute on the installer's machine. The bucket owner can mutate the tarball at any time, so the executed bytes are attacker-controlled. The package name mimics the AG Charts / AG Grid namespace and the inflated 99.9.1 version, combined with the depenconf path segment on the bucket URL, is the canonical dependency-confusion shape (outbidding an internal ag-charts-* name to force resolution of the attacker's package into a private build). No legitimate purpose is documented and the package ships no code of its own.
