Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall @w2d/web-components

What this malware does

The package targets the @w2d scope with an artificially high version (2.999.999) — the canonical dependency-confusion shape designed to outrank an internal registry's real package. On npm install, postinstall.js collects host identity (os.hostname(), os.userInfo(), process.cwd(), process.platform), base64-encodes the payload, and exfiltrates it to a hardcoded Burp Collaborator OAST domain 929u6o01dc28rl4mend089t9b0hr5ht6.oastify.com over both HTTPS GET (postinstall.js:28) and DNS lookup (postinstall.js:31). Comments in the file self-describe the package as a dependency-confusion PoC against Allwyn AG / win2day. Regardless of the author's stated bug-bounty framing, any installer whose registry configuration resolves the public @w2d/web-components instead of the intended internal package will silently beacon host/user/cwd identifiers to the attacker-controlled OAST host on install.

Detection & response playbook

Credential / info stealer
  1. Find it

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for @w2d/web-components (version 2.999.999). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging @w2d/web-components across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    @w2d/web-components 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 @w2d/web-components 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 blocks @w2d/web-components 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.

Frequently asked questions

No. @w2d/web-components on npm has been identified as a malicious package (version 2.999.999 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.
