Malicious package

@dbbhk/ui-componentsnpm

@dbbhk/ui-components is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-16319) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 99.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
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.

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 @dbbhk/ui-components (version 99.0.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging @dbbhk/ui-components across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    @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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If @dbbhk/ui-components 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 @dbbhk/ui-components 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.

Frequently asked questions

No. @dbbhk/ui-components on npm has been identified as a malicious package (version 99.0.0 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.
