Malicious package

@hrmony/pladddform-shared-infrastructurenpm

Advisory published Updated

@hrmony/pladddform-shared-infrastructure is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-17279) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 40.14.3). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

Malicious code in @hrmony/pladddform-shared-infrastructure (npm)

MAL-2026-17279
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall @hrmony/pladddform-shared-infrastructure

What this malware does

On module import, index.js executes three exfiltration routines that POST harvested secrets to the hardcoded endpoint https://hrnmn.dd.h4x.tv/save_instance_info_from_pkge_hrmony_pladddform-shared-infrastructure. (1) A beacon POST with body {"c53":"hello"} fires first to confirm the victim. (2) aws_get() queries the AWS Instance Metadata Service at 169.254.169.254 (IMDSv2) for instance identity, EC2 security credentials, and iterates /iam/security-credentials/ to retrieve every attached IAM role's temporary credentials, then ships the aggregated JSON to the attacker host. (3) local_get() enumerates all process.env variables and recursively reads /var/run/secrets/ (Kubernetes service-account tokens and mounted secret volumes), POSTing both to the same host. The package name resembles an internal-looking scope (@hrmony/pladddform-shared-infrastructure with a typo in 'pladddform') consistent with a dependency-confusion lure, and declares a dependency on @hrmony/kit-5 in the same author-controlled scope that would be pulled in on install. Any host importing this package on EC2 or in Kubernetes loses its cloud IAM credentials, workload identity, and full process environment to the attacker.

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.

Detection & response playbook

Credential / info stealer
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for @hrmony/pladddform-shared-infrastructure (version 40.14.3).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    @hrmony/pladddform-shared-infrastructure 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If @hrmony/pladddform-shared-infrastructure 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.

Frequently asked questions

No. @hrmony/pladddform-shared-infrastructure on npm has been identified as a malicious package (version 40.14.3 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.

Detect & block this

O3 blocks @hrmony/pladddform-shared-infrastructure-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
