@galicia-toolkit-nestjs/paasnpm
Advisory published Updated
@galicia-toolkit-nestjs/paas is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-17723) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious versions 999.0.3, 999.0.4, 999.0.5…). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in @galicia-toolkit-nestjs/paas (npm)
What this malware does
@galicia-toolkit-nestjs/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.
The package's main entry (index.js) loads a prebuilt native addon (prebuilds/<platform>-<arch>/metrics.node) inside a try/catch on require. The ELF reads CI and cloud credentials from the environment — AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SESSION_TOKEN, GITHUB_TOKEN, NPM_TOKEN, NODE_AUTH_TOKEN, SYSTEM_ACCESSTOKEN, ACTIONS_RUNTIME_TOKEN, ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_TOKEN — together with host identity and working-directory fields (gethostname, getuid, getpwuid, getcwd, uname) and sends them in a JSON body (fields src, pkg, h, u, os, arch, rel, cwd, e) via a raw socket HTTP POST to oob.s4yhii.com (POST /native HTTP/1.0). The addon imports fork and setsid to daemonize and uses hand-rolled socket/connect/send rather than Node's HTTP API, bypassing Node-level network observability. The package name scope (@galicia-toolkit-nestjs) and implausibly high version (999.0.5) are consistent with a dependency-confusion payload targeting an internal package name. Installing or requiring this package in any environment carrying CI, npm publish, GitHub Actions, or AWS credentials results in those secrets being transmitted to the hardcoded attacker endpoint.

If you installed it — respond
@galicia-toolkit-nestjs/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/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/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.
