Which versions of atlasora-api are malicious?

The following npm versions of atlasora-api are flagged malicious: 1.0.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate atlasora-api if I installed it?

atlasora-api 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 atlasora-api — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If atlasora-api 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 atlasora-api part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — atlasora-api is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-007098 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

How do I find atlasora-api across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for atlasora-api (version 1.0.0).

What this malware does

Package declares a postinstall hook ("postinstall": "node install.js") that runs install.js automatically on npm install. install.js imports https, fs, os, and child_process and collects host identifiers including os.hostname() and os.userInfo(), uses execSync for additional system enumeration, probes filesystem paths via fs.existsSync, and POSTs the collected data over an outbound https.request. This is the canonical install-time host-reconnaissance / exfiltration pattern: the package's only effect on installation is to harvest system identity and ship it off-host. There is no documented library functionality justifying the network beacon at install time.
