Malicious package

@shared-web/assetsnpm

@shared-web/assets is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-16283) 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 @shared-web/assets (npm)

Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall @shared-web/assets

What this malware does

The package runs an install lifecycle script (node index.js) and also executes ./lib/core.js on require. That code collects os.userInfo().username, os.hostname(), and process.cwd() and issues a DNS resolve4 for a label chain of the form <pkg>.<user>.<host>.<cwd>.<ts>.oob.algamil7x.xyz, exfiltrating installer identity and working-directory information over DNS to an attacker-controlled domain. The destination host and the os/dns/process module names are obfuscated in lib/c5df9a.js and lib/b4ce8f.js using char-code byte arrays (String.fromCharCode) and loaded via module.constructor._load instead of plain require, concealing both the APIs and the C2 destination. The obfuscation and DNS-label-encoded channel are inconsistent with the package's presentation as a shared web assets helper.

Detection & response playbook

Credential / info stealer
  1. Find it

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for @shared-web/assets (version 9.9.10). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging @shared-web/assets across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    @shared-web/assets 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 @shared-web/assets 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 blocks @shared-web/assets 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.

Frequently asked questions
