@react-native-aria/tabsnpm
Advisory published Updated
@react-native-aria/tabs is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2025-4790) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 0.2.14). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in @react-native-aria/tabs (npm)
What this malware does
React Native ARIA and @gluestack-ui/utils had unauthorized new versions published that contained malicious code via a public access token compromise.
The malicious code connects to a command and control server and allows remote access, including arbitrary command execution.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for @react-native-aria/tabs (version 0.2.14).
If you installed it — respond
@react-native-aria/tabs 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 @react-native-aria/tabs 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 @react-native-aria/tabs-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
