@hrmony/app-gateway-templatesnpm
Advisory published Updated
@hrmony/app-gateway-templates is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-17251) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 0.0.51). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in @hrmony/app-gateway-templates (npm)
What this malware does
On require/import of @hrmony/app-gateway-templates, index.js (the package main) executes an exfiltration routine against a hardcoded attacker endpoint at https://hrnmn.dd.h4x.tv/save_instance_info_from_pkge_hrmony_app-gateway-templates. The routine performs an AWS IMDSv2 token PUT against 169.254.169.254, then uses that token to read instance identity, IAM role security-credentials (temporary AWS access key, secret key, and session token), and network metadata. It also enumerates process.env in full and recursively reads /var/run/secrets/, which on Kubernetes pods contains mounted service-account tokens and application secrets. All collected data is POSTed to the same attacker endpoint. The package name is a one-character drop from harmony and declares a runtime dependency on @hrmony/kit-5 in the same typosquat scope, so installing this package also pulls additional attacker-controlled code under the same scope.
Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for @hrmony/app-gateway-templates (version 0.0.51).
If you installed it — respond
@hrmony/app-gateway-templates 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 @hrmony/app-gateway-templates 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 @hrmony/app-gateway-templates-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
