@traktis/environmentnpm
@traktis/environment is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-16223) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious versions 99.99.1, 99.99.2). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in @traktis/environment (npm)
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.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for @traktis/environment (2 malicious versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging @traktis/environment across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
@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.
Did it already run?
If @traktis/environment 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.
How O3 protects you
O3 blocks @traktis/environment 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.

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