@tunstock/remact-domnpm
Advisory published Updated
@tunstock/remact-dom is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-17745) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 19.2.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in @tunstock/remact-dom (npm)
What this malware does
Package @tunstock/remact-dom is a typosquat of react-dom and ships a postinstall script (scripts/setup.js) that runs automatically on npm install. The script collects os.hostname(), os.platform(), os.arch(), Node version, public IP, current working directory, and the consuming project's package.json name and version, then POSTs the payload to the hardcoded lookalike host tele.metry.orgin.net at /api/v1/events via https.request. The exfiltrated payload hardcodes package: 'react-dom', version: '19.2.0', misrepresenting the shipped artifact's identity to the collection endpoint. Author/repo metadata uses lookalike names (m00r0ncr33w, github.com/m00r0ncr33w/act.git, morroncr0w.io). The destination host is not affiliated with any legitimate react-dom infrastructure. The combination of a top-100 package name impersonation, falsified identity in the beacon payload, and automatic install-time exfiltration of installer identifiers to a non-first-party lookalike domain is a victim-tagging reconnaissance beacon staging further supply-chain compromise.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for @tunstock/remact-dom (version 19.2.0).
If you installed it — respond
@tunstock/remact-dom 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 @tunstock/remact-dom 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 @tunstock/remact-dom-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
