@bx-ui-framework/microfrontendnpm
Advisory published Updated
@bx-ui-framework/microfrontend is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-15868) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 15.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in @bx-ui-framework/microfrontend (npm)
What this malware does
package.json declares a runtime dependency microfrontend whose source is a bare HTTPS URL at https://repo.artifactorymanager.com/bx-ui-framework/microfrontend rather than a version on the npm registry. The URL carries no version, commit, or hash pin, so npm install fetches whatever tarball is currently served at that location and executes any lifecycle scripts and code it contains inside the installer's dependency tree. The artifactorymanager.com domain is unrelated to any established publisher for this scope, and the tarball contents can change at any time without a version bump.

Detection & response playbook
Malicious packageFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for @bx-ui-framework/microfrontend (version 15.0.0).
If you installed it — respond
Remove @bx-ui-framework/microfrontend 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 @bx-ui-framework/microfrontend 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.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks @bx-ui-framework/microfrontend-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.
