amplitude-react-nativenpm
Advisory published Updated
amplitude-react-native is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-15525) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 45.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in amplitude-react-native (npm)
What this malware does
package.json declares a single dependency whose source is a bare HTTPS URL (https://repo.securityctrl.com/amplitude-react-native) rather than a registry version range, with no version pin and no integrity hash. The dependency key matches the package's own name, a dependency-confusion shape. On npm install, npm fetches whatever tarball that host currently returns and installs it, executing any lifecycle scripts contained in the fetched artifact. The shipped index.js is an inert stub, so the manifest itself is the entire published payload and the operator of repo.securityctrl.com controls code executed on installers' machines.
Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.

Detection & response playbook
Malicious packageFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for amplitude-react-native (version 45.0.0).
If you installed it — respond
Remove amplitude-react-native 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 amplitude-react-native 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 amplitude-react-native-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.
