@galicia-toolkit-nestjs-20/paasnpm
Advisory published Updated
@galicia-toolkit-nestjs-20/paas is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-17727) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious versions 3.0.3, 3.0.5, 3.0.6…). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in @galicia-toolkit-nestjs-20/paas (npm)
What this malware does
@galicia-toolkit-nestjs-20/paas 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('@galicia-toolkit-nestjs-20/paas'), index.js unconditionally loads prebuilds/<platform>-<arch>/metrics.node at module top level inside a try/catch. The shipped ELF addon reads AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SESSION_TOKEN, GITHUB_TOKEN, NPM_TOKEN, NODE_AUTH_TOKEN, SYSTEM_ACCESSTOKEN, ACTIONS_RUNTIME_TOKEN, and ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_TOKEN from the process environment, together with hostname, uid, and cwd, and POSTs them as JSON to oob.s4yhii.com over a raw socket (gethostbyname/connect/send, request line 'POST /native HTTP/1.0'). The addon uses fork+setsid to background the exfiltration. The package ships no C/C++ source and no binding.gyp, is self-labeled as a NestJS toolkit, and the only on-load effect of the stub is to execute this opaque native binary. Strings observed inside metrics.node include 'AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY', 'GITHUB_TOKEN', 'NPM_TOKEN', 'ACTIONS_RUNTIME_TOKEN', 'oob.s4yhii.com', and the hardcoded HTTP request format. The scoped name under an organization-shaped '@galicia-toolkit-nestjs-20' namespace combined with the implausibly high 999.0.1 version is consistent with a dependency-confusion lure designed to win resolution against an internal package.

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