asavie-uinpm
Malicious code in asavie-ui (npm) Remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
What this malware does
callback.js collects host identity information (os.hostname(), os.userInfo()) and transmits it via https.get() to an external endpoint at install/load time. The combination of OS-level identity collection followed by outbound HTTPS in a callback script is consistent with installer reconnaissance/beaconing. The package name and structure (a 99.x.x version of a generic UI-named package) further suggests a non-legitimate publication. No corresponding legitimate functionality (no UI code, no documented purpose) accompanies the data-collection routine.
The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'asavie-ui' @ 99.0.2 (npm) as malicious.
It is considered malicious because:
- The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity.

Detection & response playbook
Backdoor / remote accessFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for asavie-ui (version 99.0.2). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging asavie-ui across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
asavie-ui establishes remote access, so treat any host that installed it as fully compromised. Isolate the machine, remove the package, rotate all credentials it could reach, and rebuild from a trusted image rather than cleaning in place — a backdoor may have planted additional persistence.
Did it already run?
If asavie-ui was ever installed, its post-install/runtime payload may have already executed. O3's L7 egress monitoring and runtime eBPF sensors detect the credential exfiltration or command-and-control callback after install and block the malicious outbound channel, so you catch and contain the actual compromise — not just the presence of the package.
How O3 protects you
O3 blocks asavie-ui before install through its supply-chain scanner, and if it has already run, detects and severs the exfiltration or C2 callback at runtime through L7 egress monitoring and eBPF.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks asavie-ui-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the C2 callback and severs the channel.
