Which versions of ahooks-3.7.8 are malicious?

The following npm versions of ahooks-3.7.8 are flagged malicious: 13.1.1. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate ahooks-3.7.8 if I installed it?

ahooks-3.7.8 is a typosquat — you almost certainly intended a legitimately-named package. Remove ahooks-3.7.8, install the correct package, and rotate any secrets exposed during the install since post-install scripts may have already run.

I already installed ahooks-3.7.8 — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If ahooks-3.7.8 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.

Is ahooks-3.7.8 part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — ahooks-3.7.8 is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-010563 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 ahooks-3.7.8 across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for ahooks-3.7.8 (version 13.1.1).

What this malware does

Package published as ahooks-3.7.8 at version 13.1.1 with empty author/description/license impersonates the legitimate ahooks React hooks library. package.json declares a preinstall hook that runs node index.js, which collects the installer's hostname, platform, architecture, username/uid/gid/shell, home directory, current working directory, and the output of whoami and id, and POSTs the JSON to the hardcoded Burp Collaborator subdomain https://q7y246t0aca8jr8vfs8c900s4jaay1mq.oastify.com/detox56. The script auto-executes on npm install without any user interaction.
