@luminarycloudinternal/lcvis-stnpm
Advisory published Updated
@luminarycloudinternal/lcvis-st is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-6987) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious versions 9999.0.1, 9999.0.2, 9999.0.3). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in @luminarycloudinternal/lcvis-st (npm)
What this malware does
Package @luminarycloudinternal/[email protected] is published to the public npm registry under an internal-looking scope with an artificially high version number designed to outrank any legitimate internal release, so misconfigured installers resolve this public copy. On install, the postinstall.js script collects host and user identifiers (os.hostname(), os.userInfo().username, OS type/release/platform/arch), npm package name/version and user-agent, and CI/GitHub identifiers (CI, GITHUB_ACTIONS, GITHUB_REPOSITORY, RUNNER_NAME, GITHUB_SHA, GITHUB_REF, GITHUB_WORKFLOW), then sends them as query parameters via HTTPS GET to a hardcoded third-party endpoint at poc-luminary-npm-1782987043.testingboxes.com (postinstall.js line 34). The package self-labels as a Bugcrowd bounty canary, but the behavior — dependency-confusion scope/version combined with install-time transmission of installer identifiers to a hardcoded third-party host — is exfiltration for any installer other than the intended bounty target.
Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for @luminarycloudinternal/lcvis-st (3 malicious versions).
If you installed it — respond
@luminarycloudinternal/lcvis-st 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 @luminarycloudinternal/lcvis-st 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 @luminarycloudinternal/lcvis-st-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
