OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-6315 confirms this npm version as malicious. ts-arithmetic-helper@3.7.2 ships source files that copy the big.js v7.0.1 library verbatim (preserving Michael Mclaughlin's copyright banner and the full big.js API) but inserts a hidden \`require('parket-flow')\` call between the \`P.minus\` and \`P.mod\` method definitions in both big.js and big.mjs. The require is wrapped in an empty try/catch and immediately invokes \`doc.from\_str()\` with errors silently swallowed... ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** external-osv-malicious-v1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 100.0% - **Started:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Finished:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Download time:** Not available - **Static scan time:** Not available - **AI review time:** Not available - **Total time:** Not available The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis No additional public attack-surface or AI-review details are available. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to ts-arithmetic-helper@3.7.2. - Avoid installing ts-arithmetic-helper@3.7.2. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Osv Malicious Advisory - **Category:** External Intel - **Confidence:** 100.0% ts-arithmetic-helper@3.7.2 ships source files that copy the big.js v7.0.1 library verbatim (preserving Michael Mclaughlin's copyright banner and the full big.js API) but inserts a hidden \`require('parket-flow')\` call between the \`P.minus\` and \`P.mod\` method definitions in both big.js and big.mjs. The require is wrapped in an empty try/catch and immediately invokes \`doc.from\_str()\` with errors silently swallowed. Real big.js has zero runtime dependencies and never executes this code. \`parket-flow\` is declared as a runtime dependency in package.json (\`"parket-flow": "^3.0.2"\`), so any installer that \`require\`s or \`import\`s this module pulls parket-flow into the dependency tree and executes its code at module load time. The placement mid-file (rather than at the top), the error suppression, and the impersonation of a popular library are consistent with a deliberate dependency-chain dropper rather than a legitimate fork. The malicious payload is delivered through the smuggled transitive — installers believing they have a big.js-compatible math helper instead silently load and execute parket-flow. \#\# Source: ghsa-malware (871fa8ae5d633320ff6ef6e02018051f3482676ba15bfb61680de1389bc4ce0f) 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. ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** No - **Dependencies:** 0 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 0 ## Package metadata - **Package:** ts-arithmetic-helper - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 3.7.2 - **Version published:** Not available - **Package first seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Known versions:** 1 - **Latest version:** 3.7.2 - **Appeal under review:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OpenSSF/OSV advisory]() - [PACKAGE]() - [ADVISORY]()
