a-onesitenpm
a-onesite is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-16480) that opens a backdoor for remote access (malicious version 99.9.9). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in a-onesite (npm)
What this malware does
[email protected] ships an empty index.js and no library functionality. Its package.json declares preinstall, preupdate, and test scripts that all invoke wget against http://eoy34oyrep9j5x8.m.pipedream.net with the installer's username ($(whoami)), current working directory ($(pwd)), and hostname ($(hostname)) as query parameters. The preinstall hook fires automatically on npm install, sending installer-identifying reconnaissance data over plaintext HTTP to a third-party collection endpoint unrelated to any advertised purpose. The version number (99.9.9) and empty code payload are consistent with a dependency-confusion reconnaissance beacon rather than a functional package.

Detection & response playbook
Backdoor / remote accessFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for a-onesite (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 a-onesite across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
a-onesite establishes remote access, so treat any host that installed it as fully compromised. Isolate the machine, remove the package, rotate all credentials it could reach, and rebuild from a trusted image rather than cleaning in place — a backdoor may have planted additional persistence.
Did it already run?
If a-onesite 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 a-onesite 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.
