@nf-addons/am-global-headernpm
@nf-addons/am-global-header is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-17154) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 9.9.10). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in @nf-addons/am-global-header (npm)
What this malware does
The package's install lifecycle script runs node index.js, which loads runtime/support/telemetry/probe/impl.js. That module reads os.userInfo().username, os.hostname(), and process.cwd(), concatenates them with a fixed prefix nfamh and a timestamp into a single DNS label, and issues a dns.resolve4 query against the hardcoded domain oob.algamil7x.xyz, exfiltrating installer identity over DNS on npm install. The same code path also fires on every require() of the package via the declared main. Destination domain, the loader targets os/dns, and the identifiers userInfo/hostname/cwd/resolve4 are stored as charcode/hex arrays and reconstructed at runtime via String.fromCharCode, and the os and dns modules are pulled in through module.constructor._load rather than require, concealing the destination and API surface from static inspection. Comments frame the behavior as registry connectivity diagnostics, contradicting the actual dataflow.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for @nf-addons/am-global-header (version 9.9.10). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging @nf-addons/am-global-header across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
@nf-addons/am-global-header 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 @nf-addons/am-global-header 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.
How O3 protects you
O3 blocks @nf-addons/am-global-header 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.
