Malicious package

@lodash-js/lodash-jsnpm

@lodash-js/lodash-js is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-14048) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious versions 0.1.0, 0.2.0, 0.3.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

npm uninstall @lodash-js/lodash-js

What this malware does

The package is published under a name mimicking lodash but its manifest's main entry is dist/xelis-miner.browser.js, a Xelis Stratum cryptocurrency miner bundle with an embedded ~35 KB WebAssembly xelis-hash v3 engine. On require/import (or via the README-advertised CDN embed), the bundle auto-instantiates a XelisMiner web worker (XelisMiner.auto) that mines on the visitor's CPU. Pool and wallet configuration are not fixed in the bundle; the miner fetches them at runtime from a hardcoded author-controlled Cloudflare Workers endpoint at https://analytics.baskirill-an.workers.dev/configs/boostydownloader (referred to in the README as "cloudflare-c2c"), which lets the operator rotate mining pool and wallet destinations at will. The bundle additionally contacts https://api.ipify.org?format=json to capture the visitor's public IP. Package metadata (description "lodash-js", keywords including xelis/stratum/miner/wasm) contradicts the lodash-shaped name — the sole shipped functionality is the miner, not any lodash API. Any site or application that installs this package believing it to be lodash will ship a browser cryptojacker to its end users, whose compute and electricity are redirected to the attacker's mining pool via the mutable c2 endpoint.

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 @lodash-js/lodash-js (3 malicious versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging @lodash-js/lodash-js across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    @lodash-js/lodash-js 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 @lodash-js/lodash-js 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 @lodash-js/lodash-js 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. @lodash-js/lodash-js on npm has been identified as a malicious package (versions 0.1.0, 0.2.0, 0.3.0 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.
