Malicious package

blockchain-helper-libnpm

Malicious code in blockchain-helper-lib (npm) Remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

MAL-2026-549
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall blockchain-helper-lib

What this malware does

The package blockchain-helper-lib was found to contain malicious code.

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.

Detection & response playbook

Malicious package
  1. Find it

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for blockchain-helper-lib (28 malicious versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging blockchain-helper-lib across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    Remove blockchain-helper-lib 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 blockchain-helper-lib 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 blocks blockchain-helper-lib 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.

Frequently asked questions

No. blockchain-helper-lib on npm has been identified as a malicious package (versions 0.0.1, 0.0.2, 0.0.3, 0.0.4, 0.0.5, 0.0.6, 0.0.7, 0.0.8, and 20 more flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.
