@khaznatech/utilsnpm
@khaznatech/utils is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-13975) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 99.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in @khaznatech/utils (npm)
What this malware does
The package declares a preinstall script (install-report.js) that runs on npm install. It reads os.hostname() and the current working directory basename and sends them via https.get to a hardcoded webhook.site inbox (https://webhook.site/93b065ab-227f-4253-b940-361d00e9b870/). webhook.site is an anonymous request-inspection service that has no relation to the package's stated utilities purpose. The scoped name @khaznatech/utils combined with the unusually high version number 99.0.0 is consistent with a dependency-confusion probe designed to identify internal build systems that resolve the public name over a private one.

Detection & response playbook
Malicious packageFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for @khaznatech/utils (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/utils across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove @khaznatech/utils from your project and lockfile, then assume any secrets accessible to the build or runtime were exposed: rotate API keys, tokens, and credentials, and audit for unexpected outbound activity or persistence.
Did it already run?
If @khaznatech/utils 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/utils 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.
