Summary
Malicious code in nodemon-gulp (npm)

Package is published as nodemon-gulp but its contents are a verbatim copy of the upstream nodemon project: package.json declares author: Remy Sharp, homepage: https://nodemon.io, and bin: { "nodemon": "./bin/nodemon.js" }, so installing this package places a nodemon shim on the user's PATH supplied by an unrelated publisher. package.json also declares "ts-webplug": "3.0.5" as a runtime dependency, yet no file under lib/ or bin/ ever require()s ts-webplug. The only effect of declaring this dep is to silently pull ts-webplug into the installer's dependency tree on npm install, where its lifecycle and import-time code can execute. This is the canonical namespace-abuse + typosquat-loader shape: a clone of a well-known package, republished under a confusable name, used as a vehicle to deliver an otherwise-unjustified third-party dependency to anyone who installs it.

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.
