@payment-review/storenpm
Malicious code in @payment-review/store (npm) Remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
What this malware does
package.json declares preinstall: node index.js || true, so installing the package automatically runs index.js on npm install. The script collects host identity fields — os.hostname(), os.userInfo().username, __dirname, process.cwd(), and the package id — serializes them as JSON, and exfiltrates them via two channels: (1) an HTTP POST to the hardcoded bare IP http://172.201.213.59:9090/c, and (2) a hex-encoded DNS resolution against a subdomain of d8jbmnsqcfu78dfs8vdg34ohqhirb4pbg.oast.live (Interactsh out-of-band exfiltration). The package metadata (@payment-review/store, version 99.0.0, description security research, no real functionality) matches the dependency-confusion shape: a high version number under a target-org-styled scope intended to override an internal private package of the same name. Installing this package leaks the installer's host and user identity to attacker-controlled infrastructure with no user consent.

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 @payment-review/store (2 malicious versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging @payment-review/store across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
@payment-review/store 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 @payment-review/store 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 @payment-review/store 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 @payment-review/store-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
