Malicious package

app-sca-info-bankingnpm

Advisory published Updated

Malicious code in app-sca-info-banking (npm)

MAL-2026-17182
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall app-sca-info-banking

What this malware does

package.json declares scripts.postinstall: node poc.js, causing poc.js to execute automatically on npm install. poc.js issues DNS (dns.resolve4) and HTTP (http.get) callbacks to unique subdomains under ki6rmdjnq5q8y7v8soxc080fz65ytohd.oastify.com (a Burp Suite Collaborator / OAST host) and writes a marker file under os.tmpdir(). The package's main entry is an empty stub (module.exports = {}); the postinstall payload is the package's only functionality. The DNS/HTTP callbacks to an attacker-controlled OAST domain confirm arbitrary code execution on the installer's host and leak install-event metadata to a third-party endpoint.

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.

The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'app-sca-info-banking' @ 0.0.24 (npm) as malicious.

It is considered malicious because:

  • The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity.

Detection & response playbook

Malicious package

  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for app-sca-info-banking (version 0.0.24).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    Remove app-sca-info-banking 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If app-sca-info-banking 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.

Frequently asked questions
