@galicia-toolkit-nestjs-20/commonsnpm
Advisory published Updated
@galicia-toolkit-nestjs-20/commons is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-17726) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious versions 999.0.1, 999.0.2, 999.0.3). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in @galicia-toolkit-nestjs-20/commons (npm)
What this malware does
@galicia-toolkit-nestjs-20/commons is a dependency confusion package published to npm on 2026-10-09 by the account s4yhii__, targeting the internal @galicia-toolkit-* / @brick-v2 package namespaces with inflated versions (e.g. 999.0.x). Early versions resolve <hostname>.<tag>.dc.oob.s4yhii.com via DNS to beacon the victim's hostname. Later versions run node index.js from a preinstall hook, which loads a bundled native addon (prebuilds/<platform>-<arch>/metrics.node, Linux and Windows builds). The addon forks a detached process that collects hostname, username, OS/arch, cwd and the full values of CI/cloud secrets from environment variables (NPM_TOKEN, NODE_AUTH_TOKEN, GITHUB_TOKEN, ACTIONS_RUNTIME_TOKEN, ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_TOKEN, AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SESSION_TOKEN, SYSTEM_ACCESSTOKEN, AZURE_DEVOPS_EXT_PAT and others) and sends them as JSON via HTTP POST /native to oob.s4yhii.com:9999.
On require(), index.js loads a bundled ELF native addon at prebuilds/linux-x64/metrics.node inside a silent try/catch. The addon reads CI/cloud credential environment variables (AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY and related AWS_*, GITHUB_TOKEN, NPM_TOKEN, NODE_AUTH_TOKEN, ACTIONS_RUNTIME_TOKEN, SYSTEM_ACCESSTOKEN, ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_TOKEN) along with hostname, user, and cwd, and POSTs them as JSON to the hardcoded non-first-party host oob.s4yhii.com at the path /native. The addon also calls fork and setsid to detach from the loader process after transmission, so the exfiltration continues in the background without blocking the caller. The package ships at version 999.0.1 under scope @galicia-toolkit-nestjs-20 with no library functionality beyond loading this addon — the inflated version, scope-mimicry, and payload-only contents are the canonical dependency-confusion shape. Packaging the exfiltration logic as a compiled.node binary rather than JavaScript, combined with the silent try/catch loader and the fork+setsid detach, is deliberate anti-analysis around the credential-theft primitive.

If you installed it — respond
@galicia-toolkit-nestjs-20/commons 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.
Did it already run?
If @galicia-toolkit-nestjs-20/commons 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 @galicia-toolkit-nestjs-20/commons-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
