Malicious code in commonweb-balance (npm)

commonweb-balance@99.9.1 is an empty shell package (empty index.js, no functionality) whose only effect on install is resolving its single declared runtime dependency ltidisafe from a direct tarball URL at https://ltidi.storage.googleapis.com/depenconf/ltidisafe-3.4.5.tgz rather than from the npm registry. On npm install, npm downloads and installs whatever bytes are served at that URL into the installer's node_modules, bringing that code into the dependency tree outside npm registry review. The GCS bucket is publisher-unrelated (no matching author or homepage metadata on the host package) and mutable — whoever controls the bucket can change the served tarball contents at any time without republishing to npm. The host package has no legitimate function other than to pull this out-of-registry dependency into installers, matching the dependency-chain dropper / lure pattern.

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.
