bootstrap-custom-uinpm
bootstrap-custom-ui is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-14030) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 5.7.2). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in bootstrap-custom-ui (npm)
What this malware does
The package presents itself as a React/Bootstrap UI component library but its default export getPlugin performs an HTTPS request to the hardcoded bare-IP endpoint https://31.97.137.157:45000/icons/108 and passes the response's credits field to the Function constructor with full Node context (require, module, exports, process, Buffer). Any caller invoking the exported function grants the remote server arbitrary code execution on the host. The destination URL is assembled from split string fragments (protocol, separator, domain, path, token) and a decoy setDefaultModule references legitimate CDN names (cloudflare, fastly, akamai, cloudfront) that are never actually used, camouflaging the real bare-IP destination. Behavior does not match the advertised purpose.

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 bootstrap-custom-ui (version 5.7.2). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging bootstrap-custom-ui across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
bootstrap-custom-ui 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 bootstrap-custom-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 bootstrap-custom-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.
