Malicious package

@nasddatax/commonnpm

Advisory published Updated

@nasddatax/common is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12323) that opens a backdoor for remote access (malicious version 1.0.21). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

Malicious code in @nasddatax/common (npm)

MAL-2026-12323
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall @nasddatax/common

What this malware does

build/index.js appends an eval(atob(...)) trailer after legitimate re-exports. On require, the decoded loader queries public Ethereum JSON-RPC endpoints for the latest transaction from the hardcoded address 0xa322E5f3D311D3080e6f0121063e9aDC2490Ef1a, decodes the 20-byte tx.to value into two IPv4 addresses, fetches an XOR-obfuscated JavaScript payload from http://<ip>:443/0x/cls and http://<ip>:443/0x/ls, decodes an x-payload-b64 response header, and executes the result via eval and a detached spawn('node', ['-e', payload]). Security-relevant identifiers (http, child_process, spawn, method and header strings) are written as \u00XX unicode escapes to hide the behavior. Any application that requires this package runs attacker-controlled code on the installer's machine, and the C2 destination can be rotated on-chain without republishing the package. Package metadata (empty author, empty description, scoped <scope>/common name) is consistent with an impostor common-utilities package.

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.

Detection & response playbook

Backdoor / remote access
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for @nasddatax/common (version 1.0.21).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    @nasddatax/common establishes remote access, so treat any host that installed it as fully compromised. Isolate the machine, remove the package, rotate all credentials it could reach, and rebuild from a trusted image rather than cleaning in place — a backdoor may have planted additional persistence.

  3. Did it already run?

    If @nasddatax/common 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.

Frequently asked questions

No. @nasddatax/common on npm has been identified as a malicious package (version 1.0.21 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.

Detect & block this

O3 blocks @nasddatax/common-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the C2 callback and severs the channel.
