@tvg-mar/promos-contextnpm
@tvg-mar/promos-context is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-16412) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 9.9.10). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in @tvg-mar/promos-context (npm)
What this malware does
The package's install lifecycle script runs node index.js, which loads runtime/support/telemetry/probe/impl.js. On every npm install, that module dynamically resolves the os and dns core modules via module.constructor._load with char-code-obfuscated names, reads os.userInfo().username, os.hostname(), and the basename of process.cwd(), and encodes them as DNS labels in a dns.resolve4 query to oob.algamil7x.xyz. The destination domain is reconstructed at runtime from a hex char-code array in runtime/support/telemetry/probe/d4c8a1.js / e5d9b2.js rather than appearing as a plain string. The combination of an install-time hook, obfuscated core-module loading, obfuscated destination, and DNS-tunnel encoding of installer identity fields is a classic install-time exfiltration beacon.

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 @tvg-mar/promos-context (version 9.9.10). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging @tvg-mar/promos-context across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
@tvg-mar/promos-context 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 @tvg-mar/promos-context 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 @tvg-mar/promos-context 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.
