@hrmony/kit-1npm
@hrmony/kit-1 is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-17264) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 1.99.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in @hrmony/kit-1 (npm)
What this malware does
The package executes credential-harvesting code both from its postinstall script (scripts/check-setup.mjs) and from its main entry (index.js), so theft fires on npm install and again on require/import even when lifecycle scripts are skipped. Both code paths query the EC2 Instance Metadata Service at 169.254.169.254 (IMDSv2 token flow) to retrieve instance identity, IAM role names, and the role's temporary security credentials; enumerate all of process.env; and recursively read /var/run/secrets/ (Kubernetes service-account tokens and mounted secrets). The collected data is POSTed to https://hrmnmn.dd.h4x.tv/save_instance_info_hook and https://hrmnmn.dd.h4x.tv/save_instance_info_index. An additional unconditional beacon POST ({"c53":"hello"}) to the same host provides install/import telemetry. The h4x.tv destination has no relation to any declared publisher or purpose.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for @hrmony/kit-1 (version 1.99.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging @hrmony/kit-1 across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
@hrmony/kit-1 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/kit-1 was ever installed, its post-install/runtime payload may have already executed. O3's L7 egress monitoring and runtime eBPF sensors detect the credential exfiltration or command-and-control callback after install and block the malicious outbound channel, so you catch and contain the actual compromise — not just the presence of the package.
How O3 protects you
O3 blocks @hrmony/kit-1 before install through its supply-chain scanner, and if it has already run, detects and severs the exfiltration or C2 callback at runtime through L7 egress monitoring and eBPF.
