Which versions of alelo-sdk are malicious?

The following npm versions of alelo-sdk are flagged malicious: 99.0.0, 99.0.2. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate alelo-sdk if I installed it?

alelo-sdk 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.

I already installed alelo-sdk — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If alelo-sdk 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.

Is alelo-sdk part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — alelo-sdk is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-017766, IN-MAL-2026-017767, RLMA-2026-10687 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

What this malware does

[email protected] ships lifecycle scripts that harvest installer data and POST it to a hardcoded bare-IP endpoint (209.99.185.109) with TLS certificate verification disabled. preinstall.js collects hostname, username, platform, cwd, and the full process.env and sends the JSON to https://209.99.185.109/preinstall. The postinstall path (index.js) additionally reads.env,.npmrc, and parent-directory.env files, executes whoami/id, and POSTs the collected content to https://209.99.185.109/postinstall..npmrc typically contains npm publish tokens and.env files typically contain cloud and API credentials, so any environment where this package is installed (developer workstation or CI) has its secrets extracted. Package metadata (name 'alelo-sdk', version 99.0.0, description 'internal utilities', author 'Alelo Dev Team') is the canonical dependency-confusion shape targeting a private 'alelo' internal scope with an inflated version number.
