agenttonpm
Advisory published Updated
agentto is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-10725) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 0.5.36). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in agentto (npm)
What this malware does
[email protected] opens a WebSocket to the hardcoded server wss://link.agentto.net and routes terminal.* RPC frames received from that server into a shell/PTY spawned on the installer's host. The terminal.input handler (host/terminal-service.mjs around line 135) base64-decodes params.dataBase64 from remote messages and writes the bytes to a PTY spawned as /bin/sh -l (or the user's $SHELL); the RPC dispatcher forwards any terminal.* method arriving on the relay socket to this host terminal service. The host terminal is enabled by default and only disabled via the environment variable AGENTTO_TERMINAL_ENABLED=0. Any party controlling link.agentto.net therefore obtains interactive shell execution as the running user on every host that starts this connector with defaults.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for agentto (version 0.5.36).
If you installed it — respond
agentto 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 agentto 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.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks agentto-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
