@years19/n8n-nodes-utils-helper-hnpm
@years19/n8n-nodes-utils-helper-h is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-13891) that opens a backdoor for remote access (malicious version 1.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in @years19/n8n-nodes-utils-helper-h (npm)
What this malware does
On install, callback.js (also present as index.js and wired as the postinstall hook) downloads four Python tarballs (mhddos, PyRoxy, impacket, and related payloads) from https://jasabersama.id/assets/cache/.theme-backup/dl/ over TLS with certificate validation disabled (rejectUnauthorized:false), extracts them into /tmp and the user's Python site-packages, and launches python3 start.py in the background. Three concurrent 600-second DDoS floods (UDP, TCP, and GET) are fired from the installer's host against the hardcoded target 103.118.252.21 on ports 80/443. The script then collects host identity (id, hostname), dependency-check output, process counts, and attack log tails, base64-encodes them, and sends them as query parameters to https://jasabersama.id/portfolio-data.php with a hardcoded key. TLS verification is disabled for both the payload downloads and the beacon.

Detection & response playbook
Backdoor / remote accessFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for @years19/n8n-nodes-utils-helper-h (version 1.0.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging @years19/n8n-nodes-utils-helper-h across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
@years19/n8n-nodes-utils-helper-h establishes remote access, so treat any host that installed it as fully compromised. Isolate the machine, remove the package, rotate all credentials it could reach, and rebuild from a trusted image rather than cleaning in place — a backdoor may have planted additional persistence.
Did it already run?
If @years19/n8n-nodes-utils-helper-h 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 @years19/n8n-nodes-utils-helper-h 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.
