Which versions of @zzzgenesis00/xrp-lib are malicious?

The following npm versions of @zzzgenesis00/xrp-lib are flagged malicious: 2.14.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate @zzzgenesis00/xrp-lib if I installed it?

@zzzgenesis00/xrp-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.

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

If @zzzgenesis00/xrp-lib 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/xrp-lib part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — @zzzgenesis00/xrp-lib is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-011341 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/xrp-lib across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for @zzzgenesis00/xrp-lib (version 2.14.0).

@zzzgenesis00/xrp-lib is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-11534) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 2.14.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

Immediate action

Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.

npm uninstall @zzzgenesis00/xrp-lib

What this malware does

The package impersonates XRPLF's xrp-lib (author metadata and homepage point at github.com/XRPLF/xrp-lib) while being published under an unrelated scope. Its postinstall.js runs automatically on npm install and collects host metadata, iterates ~40 credential-shaped environment variables (NPM_TOKEN, NODE_AUTH_TOKEN, GITHUB_TOKEN, AWS_*, MNEMONIC, SEED_PHRASE, ETHEREUM_PRIVATE_KEY, and similar), reads ~/.ssh, ~/.npmrc, and ~/.gitconfig, indexes Chrome/Firefox profile stores, runs npm whoami and git config, and enumerates wallet directories. The harvested profile is exfiltrated via two hardcoded non-first-party destinations: api.telegram.org using a hardcoded bot token and chat id, and https://40f955f39128bd79-178-249-214-24.serveousercontent.com/collect via POST. Identifiers are mangled (_uzy/_cod/_ndz/_cp/_ht/_tk/_ch), the payload is disguised with a 'postinstall environment verification' comment, and exfil is delayed via setTimeout with a 1.5–3.5s random jitter to hide from install traces.
