Malicious code in @ceeferenderer/fe-renderer-sdk (npm) Remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
What this malware does
Multiple evidences suggest malicious intent: code obfuscation, dynamic code execution, process access, install script, and suspicious email.
Package runs malicious code both at install time (package.json install script: node index.js) and at require time (main: index.js). index.js silently requires ./lib/core inside a try/catch. lib/core.js, with the help of two obfuscated helper modules (lib/b02e30.js and lib/6ad264.js), builds the strings 'os', 'dns', and 'oob.sl4x0.xyz' from numeric character-code arrays via String.fromCharCode and loads built-in modules through module.constructor._load(...) to evade static inspection. It then assembles the subdomain ceefe.<username>.<hostname>.<cwd_basename>.<unix_timestamp>.oob.sl4x0.xyz and issues a dns.resolve4() lookup, exfiltrating the installer's OS username, hostname, and working-directory name to an attacker-controlled domain over DNS. The combination of auto-execution on install and require, character-code obfuscation of both the target domain and built-in module names, DNS (rather than HTTP) as the exfil channel, random-hex-named helper files, and silent try/catch swallowing of errors is an unambiguous credential-reconnaissance beacon.

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 @ceeferenderer/fe-renderer-sdk (version 99.9.9). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging @ceeferenderer/fe-renderer-sdk across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
@ceeferenderer/fe-renderer-sdk 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 @ceeferenderer/fe-renderer-sdk 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 @ceeferenderer/fe-renderer-sdk 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.
