The lead maintainer was socially engineered through a fake workspace and call into installing a trojan; the attacker then published two versions that added a never-imported dependency whose post-install script dropped a remote-access tool.
npm removed the packages about three hours later and revoked tokens; the maintainer published a post-mortem.
Source: Datadog Security Labs analysis and the maintainer’s post-mortem, 31 March 2026. History, not a warning about today — the verdict above is about maintenance now.
