Advisory published Updated

@design-system-coopeuch/web is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-3653) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious versions 999.0.0, 999.0.4). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

What this malware does

Package @design-system-coopeuch/[email protected] is a dependency-confusion squat of an internal-looking scope, published at an inflated 999.x version to override any private registry copy. package.json declares a preinstall hook that runs cb.js, which collects installer host identifiers (os.hostname(), cwd, install directory, id, uname -a, OS release info, and the full list of process.env key names) and POSTs them as JSON over cleartext HTTP to a hardcoded bare IP, http://157.173.126.113:8443/dep-confusion (cb.js line 20: hostname: "157.173.126.113", port: 8443, path: "/dep-confusion", method: "POST"). The beacon fires automatically on npm install without user consent. Although the package description self-labels as an "authorized bug bounty PoC," any unintended installer has their host fingerprint exfiltrated to an attacker-controlled endpoint. The combination of internal-scope impersonation, inflated version, and install-time beacon to a bare IP is the canonical dependency-confusion attack shape.

Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.

The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified '@design-system-coopeuch/web' @ 999.0.0 (npm) as malicious.

It is considered malicious because:

  • The package executes one or more commands associated with malicious behavior.

Detection & response playbook

Credential / info stealer
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for @design-system-coopeuch/web (2 malicious versions).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    @design-system-coopeuch/web 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 @design-system-coopeuch/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.

Frequently asked questions

No. @design-system-coopeuch/web on npm has been identified as a malicious package (versions 999.0.0, 999.0.4 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.

Detect & block this

O3 blocks @design-system-coopeuch/web-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
