What this malware does

On npm install, this package auto-executes index.js via the preinstall lifecycle hook. The script collects os.hostname(), os.userInfo(), __dirname, process.cwd(), and the package name, then exfiltrates them through two channels: (1) a hex-encoded DNS A-record query to <encoded>.d8jbmnsqcfu78dfs8vdg34ohqhirb4pbg.oast.live (an interactsh out-of-band collector), and (2) an HTTP POST of the same JSON payload to http://172.201.213.59:9090/c. Both channels fire unconditionally on install, leaking installer identity to attacker-controlled infrastructure. The package metadata reinforces the dependency-confusion / namespace-squat shape: scope @klapp-otp with version 99.0.0 and the description string security research, paired with no legitimate functionality in the tarball.

Detection & response playbook

Credential / info stealer
  1. Find it

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for @klapp-otp/routes (2 malicious versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging @klapp-otp/routes across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    @klapp-otp/routes 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 @klapp-otp/routes 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 blocks @klapp-otp/routes 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.

Frequently asked questions

No. @klapp-otp/routes on npm has been identified as a malicious package (versions 99.0.0, 99.0.1 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.
