Which versions of @dbbhk/ui-components are malicious?

The following npm versions of @dbbhk/ui-components are flagged malicious: 99.0.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate @dbbhk/ui-components if I installed it?

@dbbhk/ui-components 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 @dbbhk/ui-components — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If @dbbhk/ui-components 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 @dbbhk/ui-components part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — @dbbhk/ui-components is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-020216 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 @dbbhk/ui-components across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for @dbbhk/ui-components (version 99.0.0).

npm uninstall @dbbhk/ui-components

What this malware does

@dbbhk/[email protected] declares both preinstall and postinstall hooks in package.json that execute node callback.js, so the payload runs automatically on npm install. callback.js queries the AWS instance metadata service at 169.254.169.254 for IAM role credentials, reads ECS task-role credentials via AWS_CONTAINER_CREDENTIALS_RELATIVE_URI, iterates process.env harvesting variables matching AWS/SECRET/KEY/TOKEN/PASSWORD/CREDENTIAL/AUTH/API/NPM/GITHUB/GITLAB patterns, and reads credential files including ~/.aws/credentials, /root/.aws/credentials, ~/.npmrc,.env,.npmrc, and the Kubernetes service-account token at /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token. It also collects host reconnaissance (hostname, whoami, id, platform, cwd, home directory, and CI-provider fingerprint for GitHub Actions/GitLab/Jenkins). Collected data is POSTed via https.request to api.telegram.org/bot<token>/sendMessage against a hardcoded Telegram bot and chat id 1064260758. The package name and scope impersonate an HSBC internal component (dependency-confusion shape with an implausibly high 99.0.0 version), and a header comment self-labels the file as an HSBC bug-bounty PoC; the code performs indiscriminate credential harvesting on any installer regardless of that framing.
