@zzzgenesis00/solana-web3npm
@zzzgenesis00/solana-web3 is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-11533) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 2.1.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in @zzzgenesis00/solana-web3 (npm)
What this malware does
This package impersonates Solana Labs (author field 'solana-labs', repository pointing at github.com/solana-labs/solana-web3) under an unrelated scope. Its postinstall.js runs automatically on npm install and, after a 1.5-3.5 second randomized delay, harvests installer-owned secrets: files under ~/.ssh, ~/.npmrc, ~/.gitconfig, Chrome/Firefox profile artifacts (Cookies, Login Data, key4.db), and cryptocurrency wallet directories (.bitcoin,.ethereum,.solana,.metamask,.exodus, and Electrum/Exodus AppData). It also iterates a hardcoded list of credential-shaped environment variables (NPM_TOKEN, NODE_AUTH_TOKEN, GITHUB_TOKEN, AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID / AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY / AWS_SESSION_TOKEN, DOCKER_PASSWORD, GCLOUD_ACCESS_TOKEN, MNEMONIC, SEED_PHRASE, multiple *_PRIVATE_KEY variables, and HELIUS/INFURA/ALCHEMY API keys). The collected profile is transmitted to two attacker-controlled destinations: the Telegram Bot API (bot 7231970337, chat_id 7231970337) via GET, and a serveo.net dynamic tunnel host at 40f955f39128bd79-178-249-214-24.serveousercontent.com via POST /collect. Variable identifiers in the script are masked (_jku, _wjn, _hyz, _ht, _tk, _ch) and the exfiltration is deferred behind a randomized timer to evade observation during install.

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/solana-web3 (version 2.1.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging @zzzgenesis00/solana-web3 across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
@zzzgenesis00/solana-web3 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/solana-web3 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/solana-web3 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.
