privacy-sdk@99.9.1

privacy-sdk@99.9.1 is a hollow wrapper (index.js is `module.exports = {}`, blank description, blank author) whose sole runtime dependency is declared as a raw tarball URL: `"ltidisafe": "https://ltidi.storage.googleapis.com/depenconf/ltidisafe-2.8.9.tgz"`. On `npm install privacy-sdk`, npm fetches that tarball directly from the GCS bucket — bypassing the npm registry's publication, audit, and integrity-hash mechanisms — and installs it, executing any lifecycle scripts (preinstall/install/postinstall) bundled inside. The bucket and `depenconf` path do not correspond to any identifiable publisher, the URL has no integrity field, and the bytes at that URL are mutable by whoever controls the bucket. The version `99.9.1` is the canonical high-version dependency-confusion pattern used to outrank an organization's internal `privacy-sdk` package, and the generic name compounds that risk. The package has no advertised functionality of its own; its only effect on install is to deliver attacker-controlled code into the installer's environment via the smuggled tarball. ## Source: ghsa-malware (1825b4f06e2197776dc61ab1ddea99c0afeeae873e0d1a9c010c90d1483defea) 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.
