Malicious package

@sudobility/shaperouter_clientnpm

Advisory published Updated

@sudobility/shaperouter_client is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-18128) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 0.0.14). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

Malicious code in @sudobility/shaperouter_client (npm)

MAL-2026-18128
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall @sudobility/shaperouter_client

What this malware does

The package declares a postinstall hook sh scripts/miner.sh that fetches a gzipped payload from amplify-gursha-dev-121835-deployment.s3.amazonaws.com using a presigned URL (embedded AWS access key id <redacted>), decompresses it to /tmp/.smi, extracts an embedded base64+tar XMRig binary, writes a miner configuration to $HOME/.sysmond.json targeting the Monero pool networkservicesupp.flashhub.net:8443, places the binary at $HOME/.local/lib/<stealth-name>/<stealth-name> using a system-component-like randomized name, and launches it via nohup. When the installer is root or passwordless sudo is available, the same script runs the downloaded /tmp/.smi with an agent subcommand under elevated privileges, which (per the script's own comments) installs persistent components via cron and a relay/tor channel. The script contains a hardcoded AWS access key id used to authenticate the S3 fetch.

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 @sudobility/shaperouter_client (version 0.0.14).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    @sudobility/shaperouter_client 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 @sudobility/shaperouter_client 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. @sudobility/shaperouter_client on npm has been identified as a malicious package (version 0.0.14 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.

Detect & block this

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