Which versions of @traktis/environment are malicious?

The following npm versions of @traktis/environment are flagged malicious: 99.99.1, 99.99.2. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate @traktis/environment if I installed it?

@traktis/environment 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.

I already installed @traktis/environment — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If @traktis/environment 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 @traktis/environment part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — @traktis/environment is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-020108, IN-MAL-2026-020107 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

How do I find @traktis/environment across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

What this malware does

package.json declares preinstall and postinstall lifecycle scripts that invoke curl against the hardcoded cleartext endpoint http://tko.amgsec.com/depconf/traktis-environment/, sending the output of whoami, hostname, cwd, a timestamp, and a base64-encoded dump of CI/build environment variables matched by the pattern GITHUB_, CI_PROJECT, JENKINS_URL, BUILD_URL, GITLAB_, RUNNER_*, HOSTNAME, USER, HOME as query parameters. index.js is a 55-byte placeholder comment and author is listed as 'anonymous'; the manifest lifecycle scripts are the entire functional payload. The name occupies the @traktis scope at version 99.99.2, a version-inflation shape consistent with dependency-confusion resolution against an internal package of the same name. Installing the package on any developer workstation or CI runner automatically transmits build-system identity and any credential-shaped environment variables covered by the grep pattern to a third-party host over plain HTTP.
