amdocs-auth-packagenpm
Advisory published Updated
amdocs-auth-package is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2025-6694) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious versions 99.1.0, 114.2.1, 115.2.1). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in amdocs-auth-package (npm)
What this malware does
The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity.
Package name mimics an Amdocs internal package (dependency-confusion lure). package.json declares preinstall: node index.js, so npm install auto-executes index.js. index.js collects host reconnaissance via Node's os module and child_process (hostname, platform, arch, homedir, username/uid/gid/shell, OS info, plus output of whoami, id, and pwd) and POSTs the JSON payload to a hardcoded Burp Collaborator subdomain at https://bet2pv7fumnp3hnz9u5oxggb329txjl8.oastify.com/detox56. No legitimate functionality is present; the sole install-time effect is reconnaissance exfiltration to an attacker-controlled out-of-band callback host.
The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'amdocs-auth-package' @ 99.1.0 (npm) as malicious.
It is considered malicious because:
-
The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity.
-
The package executes one or more commands associated with malicious behavior.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for amdocs-auth-package (3 malicious versions).
If you installed it — respond
amdocs-auth-package 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 amdocs-auth-package 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 amdocs-auth-package-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
