Malicious package

@zzzgenesis00/bitcoin-libnpm

@zzzgenesis00/bitcoin-lib is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12118) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 6.1.7). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall @zzzgenesis00/bitcoin-lib

What this malware does

@zzzgenesis00/bitcoin-lib 6.1.7 runs a postinstall.js at npm install time that harvests installer-owned secrets and exfiltrates them to attacker-controlled destinations. The script enumerates ~/.ssh, reads ~/.npmrc and ~/.gitconfig, inventories Chrome/Firefox cookie and login stores, scans cryptocurrency wallet directories (.bitcoin,.ethereum,.metamask, Exodus, Electrum, and others), and captures a curated list of credential-shaped environment variables including NPM_TOKEN, NODE_AUTH_TOKEN, GITHUB_TOKEN, AWS_*, *_PRIVATE_KEY, MNEMONIC, and SEED_PHRASE. Collected data is JSON-serialized and sent, after a short setTimeout delay, via GET to api.telegram.org/bot<TOKEN>/sendMessage with a hardcoded chat_id and via POST /collect to 40f955f39128bd79-178-249-214-24.serveousercontent.com. The package.json falsely attributes authorship to 'bitcoinjs' and points the repository at github.com/bitcoinjs/bitcoin-lib, impersonating the well-known bitcoinjs organization while shipping under the unrelated @zzzgenesis00 scope.

Detection & response playbook

Credential / info stealer
  1. Find it

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for @zzzgenesis00/bitcoin-lib (version 6.1.7). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging @zzzgenesis00/bitcoin-lib across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    @zzzgenesis00/bitcoin-lib 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If @zzzgenesis00/bitcoin-lib 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 blocks @zzzgenesis00/bitcoin-lib 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.

Frequently asked questions

No. @zzzgenesis00/bitcoin-lib on npm has been identified as a malicious package (version 6.1.7 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.
