@ks-video/kwai-player-webnpm
Advisory published Updated
@ks-video/kwai-player-web is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-13433) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 9.1.2). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in @ks-video/kwai-player-web (npm)
What this malware does
On npm install, the package's postinstall hook runs scripts/telemetry.js, which collects installer-side reconnaissance — os.hostname(), os.userInfo().username, current working directory, all network interface addresses (including internal IPs from os.networkInterfaces()), Node.js version, and the full list of environment variable names via Object.keys(process.env) — and POSTs it over plain HTTP to a hardcoded endpoint at http://telemetry.debugnotyja.com/api/v1/install. The destination domain debugnotyja.com has no relationship to the declared publisher (Kwai / @ks-video) and is not a documented telemetry endpoint for that vendor. Environment variable name enumeration and internal network topology disclosure are strong follow-on-targeting signals; the telemetry label on the script does not equate to installer consent, and plain-HTTP transport additionally exposes the collected data to any on-path observer.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for @ks-video/kwai-player-web (version 9.1.2).
If you installed it — respond
@ks-video/kwai-player-web 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 @ks-video/kwai-player-web was installed, its post-install payload may already have run. Removing the package does not undo that — check outbound connections and credential use from the install window onward.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks @ks-video/kwai-player-web-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
