@izumiswap/sdknpm
Malicious code in @izumiswap/sdk (npm) Remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
What this malware does
On npm install, scripts/postinstall.js runs as the preinstall/postinstall lifecycle hook and performs an unambiguous install-time RCE. It first collects installer-identifying metadata (process.platform, os.arch(), os.hostname(), os.userInfo().username, process.version, process.cwd()), base64-encodes it, and sends it as a query parameter to a hardcoded bare IP over plain HTTP (http://213.218.160.189:8080/s?q=<base64>). The destination URL is obfuscated via char-code array decoding ([104,116,116,112,58,...].map(c=>String.fromCharCode(c)).join('')) to evade static review. The HTTP response body is written to a file under the npm cache directory (~/.npm-cache/v-<ts>.js) and executed with spawn(process.execPath, [_f], { detached: true }), then deleted 60 seconds later to remove forensic evidence. The destination IP has no relationship to the package's claimed izumi.finance publisher; there is no TLS, no integrity check, and no version pinning. The package name @izumiswap/sdk also impersonates the legitimate iZiSwap SDK (iziswap-sdk from izumiFinance), targeting developers searching for the real SDK. Any installer running npm install @izumiswap/sdk executes attacker-controlled JavaScript with the full environment of the installing user.
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
Destructive / sabotageFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for @izumiswap/sdk (4 malicious versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging @izumiswap/sdk across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
@izumiswap/sdk carries a destructive/sabotage payload. Remove it immediately, restore any affected data from clean backups, and verify integrity of build outputs that may have been tampered with.
Did it already run?
If @izumiswap/sdk 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 @izumiswap/sdk 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.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks @izumiswap/sdk-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the malicious outbound activity and severs the channel.
