@dgn-src-click-to-pay-org/srcdcfreleasecertnpm
@dgn-src-click-to-pay-org/srcdcfreleasecert is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-13744) that opens a backdoor for remote access (malicious version 999.0.1). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in @dgn-src-click-to-pay-org/srcdcfreleasecert (npm)
What this malware does
The package's postinstall hook (scripts/check-env.js) executes on npm install and POSTs the package name/version along with the host's platform, architecture, and Node.js version to a hardcoded bare-IP endpoint at http://16-171-38-148.sslip.io:8080/api/install over plain HTTP. The package is published at version 999.0.1 — a sentinel value chosen to outrank legitimate internal versions during resolution — under a scoped organization name evoking a payments vendor (Discover/SRC click-to-pay), while the module body contains only trivial PAN/Luhn helpers. This is the canonical dependency-confusion reconnaissance shape: the squatted scope resolves inside a target build system and the postinstall beacon reports back which internal environments were successfully hijacked, enabling attacker follow-up against those hosts.

Detection & response playbook
Backdoor / remote accessFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for @dgn-src-click-to-pay-org/srcdcfreleasecert (version 999.0.1). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging @dgn-src-click-to-pay-org/srcdcfreleasecert across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
@dgn-src-click-to-pay-org/srcdcfreleasecert establishes remote access, so treat any host that installed it as fully compromised. Isolate the machine, remove the package, rotate all credentials it could reach, and rebuild from a trusted image rather than cleaning in place — a backdoor may have planted additional persistence.
Did it already run?
If @dgn-src-click-to-pay-org/srcdcfreleasecert 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.
How O3 protects you
O3 blocks @dgn-src-click-to-pay-org/srcdcfreleasecert 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.
