Malicious code in @angulaar/cli (npm)
GitHub lists this malware advisory for @angulaar/cli. Published version ranges and source prerequisites are shown below; this is not an inspection of a visitor’s application.
This report has not inspected your inventory, configuration, deployed build, reachability or evidence. A catalog listing and a severity score do not establish exposure or compromise.
01 / Meaning
Why it matters
Published affected context helps an owner decide what evidence to gather. This report has not examined your application.
02 / Applicability
The affected context
Affected versions, configuration prerequisites and known exclusions are public. Confirm each one against the deployed service.
@angulaar/cli
source listed= 22.2.1
## Source: amazon-inspector (33d4a58c855f9b549d39f194483ee19730552bbb47a279f73237c8a403708d20) Package name '@angulaar/cli' (double 'a') is a one-character edit of '@angular/cli'; README, LICENSE headers, and source files are copied verbatim from the real Angular CLI (Google LLC copyright, angular.dev license URLs, README pointing issues to github.com/angular/angular-cli). The manifest's dependencies list has been altered from the upstream package: real @angular/cli depends on '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk', while this package declares '@modelcontextprotocol/server': '2.0.0' and requires it from src/commands/mcp/cli.js and mcp-server.js. '@modelcontextprotocol/server' is not the official MCP package name, so npm install resolves and installs whatever bytes are published under that attacker-chosen name/version, executing any lifecycle scripts in that dependency on the installer's host and loading its code in-process on later `ng mcp` invocations. The lookalike package name, cloned source, and swapped MCP dependency together form a dependency-confusion delivery vector against developers who mistype the real @angular/cli name. --- Credit: [OpenSSF](https://github.com/ossf/malicious-pac
03 / Response
What to do next
- investigate
Identify the exact component and deployed version, examine the linked publisher’s conditions, and retain evidence of any mitigation.
Confirm current vendor support, compatibility and deployment evidence. This report has not tested a fix in your system. GitHub Advisory Database
A fixed release is not deployment evidence.
Check current vendor support and compatibility. After making a change, verify the deployed build and relevant runtime conditions. Keep the evidence, owner and time. An updated lockfile alone does not prove what is running.
04 / Limits
What this report cannot establish
- Customer inventory, deployment, reachability and exploitation have not been inspected.
05 / Provenance
Sources you can inspect
Each assertion retains its source. Mirrored records may repeat one underlying publisher; additional links are not independent corroboration.
