@wbnr/frontend-sharednpm
Advisory published Updated
@wbnr/frontend-shared is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-13436) that executes malicious code on install (malicious versions 99.0.0, 99.0.1). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in @wbnr/frontend-shared (npm)
What this malware does
The package declares a preinstall lifecycle script (preinstall.js) that automatically runs on npm install. The script reads the installer's OS username (from process.env USER/USERNAME) and hostname (os.hostname()), embeds them into a subdomain of a hardcoded 4otph6fase1x2won0hrfzul2wt2qqge5.oastify.com callback host, and transmits them via both a DNS lookup and an HTTPS GET to that host at path /depconf/. The behavior is consistent with a dependency-confusion probe using Burp Collaborator (oastify.com) infrastructure; installer identifiers (username, internal hostname, timestamp, package name) are disclosed to a third-party callback domain on every install.

Detection & response playbook
Malicious packageFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for @wbnr/frontend-shared (2 malicious versions).
If you installed it — respond
Remove @wbnr/frontend-shared from your project and lockfile, then assume any secrets accessible to the build or runtime were exposed: rotate API keys, tokens, and credentials, and audit for unexpected outbound activity or persistence.
Did it already run?
If @wbnr/frontend-shared 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 @wbnr/frontend-shared-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the malicious outbound activity and severs the channel.
