@s4yhiitestpoc/scan-https-dnpm
Advisory published Updated
@s4yhiitestpoc/scan-https-d is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-17766) that opens a backdoor for remote access (malicious version 1.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in @s4yhiitestpoc/scan-https-d (npm)
What this malware does
Dependency-confusion proof-of-concept package. A postinstall script runs automatically on installation and sends host and user identifiers (hostname, username, home directory, network interface addresses, platform details and npm configuration) to collector.oob.s4yhii.com, with a secondary DNS lookup under oob.s4yhii.com. The script states it is bug-bounty research and does not read secrets or file contents. Any machine that installed this package disclosed the listed host information to a third party.
On npm install, postinstall.js collects installer host identity — os.hostname(), os.userInfo().username, home directory, cwd, non-internal network interface addresses, DNS servers, and platform/arch/release — and POSTs it as JSON over HTTPS to the hardcoded endpoint https://collector.oob.s4yhii.com/_npm-poc/beacon, with a secondary DNS lookup against *.oob.s4yhii.com as an out-of-band execution signal. The package's scope (@s4yhiitestpoc/*) and metadata self-describe this as a dependency-confusion proof-of-concept targeting internal namespaces that resolve to the public registry; the self-labeling does not change the fact that installer host identifiers leave the installer's machine on install to a hardcoded third-party domain the installer did not opt into.

Detection & response playbook
Backdoor / remote accessFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for @s4yhiitestpoc/scan-https-d (version 1.0.0).
If you installed it — respond
@s4yhiitestpoc/scan-https-d establishes remote access, so treat any host that installed it as fully compromised. Isolate the machine, remove the package, rotate all credentials it could reach, and rebuild from a trusted image rather than cleaning in place — a backdoor may have planted additional persistence.
Did it already run?
If @s4yhiitestpoc/scan-https-d 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 @s4yhiitestpoc/scan-https-d-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the C2 callback and severs the channel.
