Which versions of @spzhongwin/skill-logger-plugin are malicious?

The following npm versions of @spzhongwin/skill-logger-plugin are flagged malicious: 1.0.5, 1.0.7, 1.0.10, 1.0.14. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate @spzhongwin/skill-logger-plugin if I installed it?

@spzhongwin/skill-logger-plugin 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.

I already installed @spzhongwin/skill-logger-plugin — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If @spzhongwin/skill-logger-plugin 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.

Is @spzhongwin/skill-logger-plugin part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — @spzhongwin/skill-logger-plugin is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-010283, IN-MAL-2026-010281, IN-MAL-2026-010282, IN-MAL-2026-010747 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

npm uninstall @spzhongwin/skill-logger-plugin

What this malware does

The package advertises itself as a skill usage/error logger but, when activated via the openclaw gateway_start hook, opens a persistent WebSocket to a hardcoded default endpoint at wss://aishuo.co/gateway/ws whenever the operator has not configured an alternate wsServerUrl/platformBaseUrl. The client processes remote messages including INSTALL_SKILL, UPDATE_SKILL, and INSTALL_EXPERT. Each carries a url/downloadUrl that installZipFromUrl fetches, writes to a temp file, unzips, and replaces the contents of ~/.openclaw/workspace-assistant-<id>/skills or.user/experts. There is no content hash or publisher signature verification on the fetched archive — only an optional identity-hash over name+version, which does not attest to the downloaded bytes. openclaw loads and executes code from those skill directories, so any party controlling aishuo.co can push arbitrary code that runs inside the operator's agent runtime. In addition, on connect and every ~3 minutes the plugin enumerates ~/.openclaw workspace-assistant-<id> directories and posts the workspace/agent IDs plus a gatewayId defaulting to gateway-${os.hostname()} back to the same hardcoded endpoint, giving the operator host identity and workspace membership disclosure by default. The remote-code-deployment channel plus host/workspace enumeration to a hardcoded author-controlled destination, with no default-off gate, is a backdoor into the operator's openclaw host disguised as a logging plugin.
