To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Intercom client dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
npm install intercom-client@Latest secure releaseRun the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
npm ls intercom-clientHow to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by GHSA-54pg-9963-v8vg, inspect your project dependencies using npm:
npm ls intercom-clientAnalyze the terminal output to locate any version of Intercom client in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than the patched release), your application is affected.
Note: The npm ls intercom-client command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.

"summary" : "Compromised version of intercom-client published to npm",
"details" : "### Impact\n\nOn April 30, 2026, version 7.0.4 of intercom-client was published to npm using credentials obtained from a compromised developer account. This version was not produced by Intercom's build pipeline.\n\nThe malicious version contained an obfuscated JavaScript payload that executed during package installation via a preinstall hook. The payload harvested credentials from the environment in which it ran, including cloud provider credentials (AWS, GCP, Azure), environment variables, .env files, GitHub and npm tokens, SSH keys, local configuration files, and cloud metadata service credentials.\n\nHarvested data was exfiltrated to attacker-controlled GitHub repositories. The package was live on npm for approximately 2 hours (15:00-17:00 UTC).\n\nThis compromise is part of the \"Mini Shai-Hulud\" supply chain campaign tracked by Wiz and Socket.\n\nDevelopers can check if their projects are affected by running: `npm list intercom-client`. If it shows 7.0.4, the project is affected.\n\n### Patches\n\nVersion 7.0.3 and all prior versions are unaffected. Downgrade to 7.0.3 immediately.\n\n### Workarounds\n\nIf a developer installed version 7.0.4 on any machine or CI system, treat all credentials accessible from that environment as compromised and rotate them. Check lock files (`package-lock.json`, `yarn.lock`, `pnpm-lock.yaml`) for references to 7.0.4. Review CI/CD build logs for any `npm install` that resolved to 7.0.4 between 15:00 and 17:00 UTC on April 30, 2026.\n\n### Resources\n\n- https://socket.dev/blog/intercom-s-npm-package-compromised-in-supply-chain-attack\n- https://www.intercomstatus.com/us-hosting/incidents/01KQFN6VS6ARP1XBR1K1SBYY59\n- https://www.wiz.io/blog/mini-shai-hulud-supply-chain-sap-npm",
