@zzzgenesis00/bip39-generatornpm
@zzzgenesis00/bip39-generator is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-11515) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 3.1.2). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in @zzzgenesis00/bip39-generator (npm)
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.

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 @zzzgenesis00/bip39-generator (version 3.1.2). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging @zzzgenesis00/bip39-generator across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
@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.
Did it already run?
If @zzzgenesis00/bip39-generator 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 @zzzgenesis00/bip39-generator 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.
