Which versions of @activepieces/piece-base44 are malicious?

The following npm versions of @activepieces/piece-base44 are flagged malicious: 0.1.7. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate @activepieces/piece-base44 if I installed it?

@activepieces/piece-base44 is built to steal secrets, so assume every credential the build or runtime could read is compromised. Remove it from your project and lockfile, then rotate ALL exposed secrets — npm/registry tokens, cloud keys, CI/CD secrets, SSH keys, and any .env values — from a known-clean machine. Audit logs for unauthorized use of those credentials.

I already installed @activepieces/piece-base44 — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If @activepieces/piece-base44 was installed, its post-install payload may already have run. Removing the package does not undo that — check outbound connections and credential use from the install window onward.

Is @activepieces/piece-base44 part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — @activepieces/piece-base44 is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-016383 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

How do I find @activepieces/piece-base44 across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for @activepieces/piece-base44 (version 0.1.7).

What this malware does

src/index.js requires child_process and issues a ping command at line 16, with multiple POST calls at lines 13, 14, and 29 to hardcoded destinations. The pattern combines OS-level command execution with outbound HTTP POSTs from the module's top level, which is the shape of a reconnaissance and exfiltration payload rather than the piece-integration surface the package name advertises. The base44 name and the @activepieces scope also do not correspond to a known, established Activepieces piece package family, and this version's shipped code performs network I/O beyond what a normal Activepieces piece definition requires.
