@opap/player-kyc-widgetnpm
Advisory published Updated
@opap/player-kyc-widget is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-14387) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 3.999.999). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in @opap/player-kyc-widget (npm)
What this malware does
The package's postinstall script runs automatically on npm install and collects host identifiers (hostname, username, cwd, platform, arch) from the installer, then transmits them off-host through two channels to a hardcoded Burp Collaborator subdomain k5qrs9i96xtw61nb3bbwwualqcw3kt8i.oastify.com: (1) an HTTPS GET carrying a base64-encoded payload in the query string, and (2) a DNS lookup where the fingerprint is hex-encoded and split into <=60-char labels prepended to the callback host, providing a covert channel that works even when outbound HTTP egress is blocked. The version number 3.999.999 published to the public @opap scope is the canonical shape of a dependency-confusion attack targeting a private internal scope of the same name.
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.
The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified '@opap/player-kyc-widget' @ 3.999.999 (npm) as malicious.
It is considered malicious because:
- The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity.

Detection & response playbook
Malicious packageFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for @opap/player-kyc-widget (version 3.999.999).
If you installed it — respond
Remove @opap/player-kyc-widget from your project and lockfile, then assume any secrets accessible to the build or runtime were exposed: rotate API keys, tokens, and credentials, and audit for unexpected outbound activity or persistence.
Did it already run?
If @opap/player-kyc-widget 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 @opap/player-kyc-widget-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the malicious outbound activity and severs the channel.
