@siriusbeyond/uinpm
Advisory published Updated
@siriusbeyond/ui is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-16321) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 99.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in @siriusbeyond/ui (npm)
What this malware does
On npm install, both preinstall and postinstall lifecycle hooks execute callback.js, which collects installer host identity (hostname, username, platform, cwd, home directory, UID, CI/cloud indicators, npm registry) and enumerates the names of environment variables matching credential-shaped patterns (token, secret, key, password, auth, api, aws, azure, npm, git, docker, registry, artifactory, nexus, credential), then POSTs the collected data to api.telegram.org via a hardcoded bot token and chat id (1064260758) using https.request to /bot<token>/sendMessage. The lifecycle commands are wrapped in 2>/dev/null || true to suppress errors and hide the exfil from the installer during npm install. A README framing this as a dependency-confusion proof of concept does not change the behavior: the package auto-executes credential-context reconnaissance and host fingerprinting against installer machines and transmits the results to an attacker-controlled Telegram channel.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for @siriusbeyond/ui (version 99.0.0).
If you installed it — respond
@siriusbeyond/ui 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 @siriusbeyond/ui 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 @siriusbeyond/ui-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
