@khaznatech/commonnpm
@khaznatech/common is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-13973) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 99.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in @khaznatech/common (npm)
What this malware does
The package's preinstall script (install-report.js) runs automatically on npm install and performs an HTTPS GET to a hardcoded webhook.site capture endpoint, appending the installer's hostname (os.hostname()) and current working directory basename (process.cwd()) to the URL path. webhook.site is an anonymous third-party request-capture service, not publisher infrastructure, and the exfiltrated values identify the installer's machine and project. The behavior is labeled as install telemetry in a comment but is not disclosed, not opt-in, and directed at an anonymous endpoint rather than a package-owned or caller-configured destination.

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 @khaznatech/common (version 99.0.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging @khaznatech/common across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
@khaznatech/common 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 @khaznatech/common 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 @khaznatech/common 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 @khaznatech/common-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
