Which versions of @zzzgenesis00/bip39-generator are malicious?

The following npm versions of @zzzgenesis00/bip39-generator are flagged malicious: 3.1.2. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate @zzzgenesis00/bip39-generator if I installed it?

@zzzgenesis00/bip39-generator 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.

I already installed @zzzgenesis00/bip39-generator — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If @zzzgenesis00/bip39-generator 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.

Is @zzzgenesis00/bip39-generator part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — @zzzgenesis00/bip39-generator is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-010999 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

How do I find @zzzgenesis00/bip39-generator across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for @zzzgenesis00/bip39-generator (version 3.1.2).

What this malware does

Package @zzzgenesis00/bip39-generator impersonates the bitcoinjs project (author field set to 'bitcoinjs', repo URL pointing at github.com/bitcoinjs/bip39-generator) while publishing under an unrelated scope. The package.json declares a postinstall hook that runs postinstall.js, which on npm install collects installer-owned secrets: contents of ~/.ssh (private key material), ~/.npmrc, ~/.gitconfig, presence of wallet directories for MetaMask, Exodus, Electrum, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Ledger, Chrome and Firefox profile artifacts (Cookies, Login Data, key4.db), output of npm whoami and git config, and a curated set of credential env vars including NPM_TOKEN, AWS_*, GITHUB_TOKEN, *_PRIVATE_KEY, MNEMONIC, and SEED_PHRASE. The collected profile is transmitted over HTTPS to the Telegram Bot API using a hardcoded bot token and chat id, and additionally POSTed to 40f955f39128bd79-178-249-214-24.serveousercontent.com/collect, a serveo.net reverse-tunnel host. Execution is delayed by a randomized setTimeout (1500 + Math.random()*2000 ms) and uses scrambled identifiers (_zfg, _jam, _xwl, _tk, _ch, _co, _ex) to reduce scanner visibility.

The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified '@zzzgenesis00/bip39-generator' @ 3.1.2 (npm) as malicious.

It is considered malicious because:

The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity.
