Malicious package

@service-user-notifications/set_notifications_not_removablenpm

Advisory published Updated

@service-user-notifications/set_notifications_not_removable is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-4439) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 9.9.10). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

Malicious code in @service-user-notifications/set_notifications_not_removable (npm)

MAL-2026-4439
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall @service-user-notifications/set_notifications_not_removable

What this malware does

On npm install, scripts/postinstall.js fetches a platform-specific binary from https://oob.moika.tech/payload/{linux|mac|win}, writes it to a hidden temp file, chmods 755, and spawns it via /bin/sh or cmd.exe — unconditional remote code execution on the installer's machine from an attacker-controlled, non-publisher domain. The same script then enumerates environment variables for tokens (npm_token, npm_config_authtoken, github_token, aws_access_key_id, aws_secret_access_key, aws_session_token, artifactory_token, nexus_token, node_auth_token), reads ~/.npmrc, /etc/npmrc, and the cwd.npmrc, and bundles host fingerprint data (hostname, username, platform, cwd, PATH, node/npm versions, CI detection, private-registry indicator) into a JSON report POSTed to https://oob.moika.tech/report. The package name (@service-user-notifications/set_notifications_not_removable) and the report field poc: 'dependency-confusion-npm' indicate a dependency-confusion attack targeting installs that resolve internal-looking scopes against the public registry. A self-labeled 'authorized testing' comment does not change the impact on any third-party installer who resolves this package.

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.

Detection & response playbook

Credential / info stealer
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for @service-user-notifications/set_notifications_not_removable (version 9.9.10).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    @service-user-notifications/set_notifications_not_removable 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If @service-user-notifications/set_notifications_not_removable 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.

Frequently asked questions

No. @service-user-notifications/set_notifications_not_removable on npm has been identified as a malicious package (version 9.9.10 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.

Detect & block this

O3 blocks @service-user-notifications/set_notifications_not_removable-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
