@hrmony/pladddform-testingnpm
@hrmony/pladddform-testing is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-17280) 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-testing (npm)
What this malware does
On module import, index.js executes an unconditional exfiltration payload against the installer/runtime host. It queries the AWS EC2 Instance Metadata Service at http://169.254.169.254 using IMDSv2 to enumerate the instance identity document, user-data, IAM role names, and the per-role temporary security credentials. It also enumerates every entry of process.env and recursively reads all files under /var/run/secrets/ (the standard Kubernetes service-account and secret mount). The combined data is POSTed to the hardcoded attacker endpoint https://hrnmn.dd.h4x.tv/save_instance_info_from_pkge_hrmony_pladddform-testing, and a separate top-level fetch to the same host beacons successful execution. The package ships no legitimate functionality: its only substantive file is the exfil script, the description is empty, and the name (@hrmony/pladddform-testing) plus the exfil URL path segment (pkge_hrmony_pladddform-testing) match a typosquat/dependency-confusion shape targeting an internal or similarly named scope.

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/pladddform-testing (version 40.14.3). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging @hrmony/pladddform-testing across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
@hrmony/pladddform-testing 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/pladddform-testing 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/pladddform-testing 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.
