@colibri-event-types/megamarket-ru-webnpm
Advisory published Updated
@colibri-event-types/megamarket-ru-web is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-6464) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 5.2.8). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in @colibri-event-types/megamarket-ru-web (npm)
What this malware does
scripts/postinstall.js is registered as the npm postinstall lifecycle script and is heavily packed with obfuscator.io string-array rotation plus a self-defending/anti-debug IIFE. On install it calls os.platform() to select a per-OS URL (darwin/win32/linux), HTTPS-fetches an opaque binary, writes it to os.tmpdir(), and spawns it via process.execPath (the installer's Node) with detached:true and stdio:'ignore', then.unref()s the child so it survives npm exit. There is no hash, signature, or publisher verification on the fetched bytes. The package's stated purpose ("internal database utilities") is inconsistent with downloading and executing a remote native/JS payload. The scoped name @colibri-event-types/megamarket-ru-web and the fabricated colibri-event-types.io homepage/author/repo metadata are consistent with dependency-confusion bait targeting an internal namespace at a victim organization. Any developer workstation or CI runner that performs npm install of this package executes attacker-controlled code.

Detection & response playbook
Malicious packageFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for @colibri-event-types/megamarket-ru-web (version 5.2.8).
If you installed it — respond
Remove @colibri-event-types/megamarket-ru-web 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 @colibri-event-types/megamarket-ru-web 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 @colibri-event-types/megamarket-ru-web-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.
