Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall ac_semantic-ui_ts

What this malware does

package.json declares a postinstall hook that runs canary.js, which issues an HTTP GET to bare IP 157.230.17.236 on port 80 with query parameters including os.hostname(), the package name and version, a nonce, and a lifecycle phase. The package name ac_semantic-ui_ts paired with the inflated version 99.99.100 is the canonical dependency-confusion shape — designed to win resolution over an internal/private registry entry of the same name. Any installer who resolves this package from public npm silently transmits their host identifier to an unencrypted, hardcoded, non-publisher endpoint with no opt-in. The README self-describes as an 'authorized benign dependency-confusion canary,' but the supply-chain mechanism — install-time exfiltration of installer host metadata to a third-party IP — is identical to a malicious dependency-confusion beacon, and any installer who pulls this unintentionally has their hostname leaked.

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 ac_semantic-ui_ts (version 99.99.100). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging ac_semantic-ui_ts across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    ac_semantic-ui_ts 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 ac_semantic-ui_ts 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 ac_semantic-ui_ts 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
