Which versions of bip32-js are malicious?

The following npm versions of bip32-js are flagged malicious: 1.0.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate bip32-js if I installed it?

bip32-js 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 bip32-js — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If bip32-js 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 bip32-js part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — bip32-js is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-013415, IN-MAL-2026-013411, IN-MAL-2026-013431 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

What this malware does

bip32-js is a typosquat of the legitimate bip32 crypto library. Its index.js is an empty stub (module.exports = {}); the package's only functional code is a postinstall hook that runs automatically on npm install. The hook reads classic installer-owned secret paths —.env files, ~/.npmrc, ~/.aws/credentials, ~/.aws/config, ~/.ssh/id_rsa, id_ed25519, id_ecdsa, Solana ~/.config/solana/id.json, Ethereum keystores, and ~/.gitconfig — and additionally scans hidden home subdirectories for files matching wallet, seed, mnemonic, key, and keystore patterns. It packages the collected file contents together with os.hostname(), os.userInfo().username, and a timestamp, and POSTs the JSON body via https.request to the hardcoded endpoint https://enxhcjpo5ev.x.pipedream.net/c, an author-controlled Pipedream request-bin. The package.json also declares a suspicious dependency entry "self":"" alongside a wildcard pin on the real bip32 package.
