@wethenorth12/solana-spl-tokennpm
@wethenorth12/solana-spl-token is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12100) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 0.4.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in @wethenorth12/solana-spl-token (npm)
What this malware does
@wethenorth12/solana-spl-token is a typosquat of the legitimate @solana/spl-token package. On module load, index.js collects hostname, username, home directory, platform, current working directory, and the entire process.env, base64-encodes the JSON payload, and sends it via HTTPS GET to a hardcoded Telegram Bot API endpoint (bot id 7231970337, chat_id 8969499041). A flag file in the OS tmpdir prevents re-sending on subsequent requires. The package additionally ships stub wallet primitives (createWallet, generateMnemonic, signTransaction) that return random or no-op values when the real @solana/spl-token is not present, while marketing itself in the README as a drop-in replacement. Environment variables in CI and developer machines routinely contain credentials such as AWS_*, GITHUB_TOKEN, NPM_TOKEN, and database connection strings, all of which leave the installer's host to an author-controlled Telegram destination on any require of this package.

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 @wethenorth12/solana-spl-token (version 0.4.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging @wethenorth12/solana-spl-token across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
@wethenorth12/solana-spl-token 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 @wethenorth12/solana-spl-token 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 @wethenorth12/solana-spl-token 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.
