aikaf6688812npm
Advisory published Updated
aikaf6688812 is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-6215) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 1.0.3). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in aikaf6688812 (npm)
What this malware does
package.json declares a postinstall hook that runs scripts/postinstall.js, which spawns scripts/shell.js as a detached, stdio-ignored background process (spawn(process.execPath, [path.join(__dirname, 'shell.js')], { detached: true, stdio: 'ignore', windowsHide: true })). scripts/shell.js opens a TCP socket to the hardcoded host 114.67.90.67 on port 3334 and pipes the local shell to that socket — /bin/sh -i on POSIX, hidden powershell.exe on Windows — with an automatic reconnect loop every 10 seconds. Any machine that runs npm install aikaf6688812 immediately yields persistent interactive shell access at the operating-system level to whoever controls 114.67.90.67. The package's stated purpose is string utilities; the network and shell behavior is unrelated to that purpose. Author metadata (frontend-dev) and the repo URL point to a non-existent GitHub project, consistent with a disposable lure.

Detection & response playbook
Malicious packageFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for aikaf6688812 (version 1.0.3).
If you installed it — respond
Remove aikaf6688812 from your project and lockfile, then assume any secrets accessible to the build or runtime were exposed: rotate API keys, tokens, and credentials, and audit for unexpected outbound activity or persistence.
Did it already run?
If aikaf6688812 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 aikaf6688812-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the malicious outbound activity and severs the channel.
