What this malware does

@array-util/[email protected] ships a single 19 KB obfuscated index.js as its main entry. On require()/import, the IIFE silences process error handlers via process.on('uncaughtException',...) and process.on('unhandledRejection',...), builds a URL by chained string.replace() calls to reassemble dotted host/path tokens, loads os/fs/path/child_process plus an HTTP client, downloads a remote resource, writes the response body to path.join(os.tmpdir(), <name>) with flag 'w+', and executes the dropped file via child_process.exec with {windowsHide: true, cwd: process.cwd()}. The string array, decoder (custom-base64 + RC4 via function c(b,d)), and control-flow flattening (obfuscator.io output, ~814 transforms per webcrack) conceal the URL, dropped filename, and exec target so URL/IP pattern scanners cannot read them. Package metadata is hollow (empty description, empty author, ISC license, no documented API; README only shows an install line and a bare require()) — there is no legitimate functionality, only the dropper. Any developer or build system that installs and require()s this package fetches and executes attacker-controlled code under the installer's UID with errors silenced.

Detection & response playbook

Credential / info stealer
  1. Find it

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for @array-util/nodepull (3 malicious versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging @array-util/nodepull across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    @array-util/nodepull 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If @array-util/nodepull 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 blocks @array-util/nodepull 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.
