@aicommander/agentnpm
Malicious code in @aicommander/agent (npm) Remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
What this malware does
@aicommander/agent installs a remote-machine agent that opens an outbound WebSocket to the hardcoded relay https://aicommander.dev and executes shell commands received over that channel on the installer's host. The message handler dispatches received commands to child_process.spawn with shell:true, streaming stdout/stderr back to the relay. A session code shared with the remote operator authorizes arbitrary command execution as the agent's uid — root when installed as the documented systemd service. This is full-host remote code execution driven by a network-sourced party, regardless of the relay being a first-party vendor server; possession of the session code by any remote party equates to full control of the installer's machine.

Detection & response playbook
Malicious packageFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for @aicommander/agent (version 1.0.34). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging @aicommander/agent across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove @aicommander/agent from your project and lockfile, then assume any secrets accessible to the build or runtime were exposed: rotate API keys, tokens, and credentials, and audit for unexpected outbound activity or persistence.
Did it already run?
If @aicommander/agent was ever installed, its post-install/runtime payload may have already executed. O3's L7 egress monitoring and runtime eBPF sensors detect the credential exfiltration or command-and-control callback after install and block the malicious outbound channel, so you catch and contain the actual compromise — not just the presence of the package.
How O3 protects you
O3 blocks @aicommander/agent before install through its supply-chain scanner, and if it has already run, detects and severs the exfiltration or C2 callback at runtime through L7 egress monitoring and eBPF.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks @aicommander/agent-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the malicious outbound activity and severs the channel.
