base-ui-clinpm
base-ui-cli is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-13522) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 1.1.47). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in base-ui-cli (npm)
What this malware does
dist/index.js issues fetch() calls to https://base-ui-pro-registry.l-dimitrov.workers.dev in addition to https://registry.npmjs.org. The Cloudflare Workers host is controlled by an individual (l-dimitrov.workers.dev) rather than any official registry or vendor infrastructure, and the package name 'base-ui-cli' evokes the unrelated Base UI component library, suggesting a lookalike/imposter shape. Routing package-manager-adjacent traffic through an author-controlled proxy that mirrors registry.npmjs.org creates a channel for delivering attacker-substituted package content or credential-bearing requests to a third-party host.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for base-ui-cli (version 1.1.47). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging base-ui-cli across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
base-ui-cli 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 base-ui-cli 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 base-ui-cli 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.
