@onum-releases/authnpm
Malicious code in @onum-releases/auth (npm) Remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
What this malware does
On require('@onum-releases/auth'), index.js reads os.hostname() and issues an HTTP GET to auth.<hostname>.200majoeu01dk02xnjdajro1isojc90y.oastify.com, transmitting the installer's host identifier to a Burp Collaborator out-of-band domain via both DNS resolution and HTTP. The package.json self-identifies as a 'dependency-confusion / scope-takeover demonstration' placeholder under the @onum-releases scope, so any build that mistakenly resolves an internal @onum-releases/* name to the public registry will leak its hostname to a third-party collaborator endpoint. Although labeled a PoC, the import-time beacon performs unconsented exfiltration of installer-side data to an attacker-controlled domain.

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 @onum-releases/auth (3 malicious versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging @onum-releases/auth across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
@onum-releases/auth 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 @onum-releases/auth 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 @onum-releases/auth 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.

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