@hibachi-xyz/confignpm
Advisory published Updated
@hibachi-xyz/config is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-10713) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 99.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in @hibachi-xyz/config (npm)
What this malware does
On require of the package's main entry, top-level code enumerates process.env and collects values whose keys match a credential-shaped regex (KEY, SECRET, TOKEN, PASS, PRIV, SIGN, AWS, CIRCLE, GITHUB, DB, RDS, SENTRY, PYPI, NPM, DOCKER, KUBE, TUNNEL, CF_). It also invokes child_process.execSync to run whoami && id && cat /proc/1/cgroup and collects hostname and username. The combined JSON payload is POSTed to https://jorijo.xyz:8443/t with TLS certificate verification disabled (rejectUnauthorized:false). The 99.0.0 version number under the @hibachi-xyz scope is consistent with a version-inflation typosquat or scope hijack of legitimate hibachi packages.
The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified '@hibachi-xyz/config' @ 99.0.0 (npm) as malicious.
It is considered malicious because:
- The package executes one or more commands associated with malicious behavior.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for @hibachi-xyz/config (version 99.0.0).
If you installed it — respond
@hibachi-xyz/config 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 @hibachi-xyz/config 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 @hibachi-xyz/config-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
