buffer-wrap-67d7npm
Malicious code in buffer-wrap-67d7 (npm) Remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
What this malware does
The package declares a postinstall hook ("postinstall": "node run.js") that executes run.js automatically on npm install. run.js imports os, fs, http, https, and child_process, and collects host and user identity signals including os.hostname(), os.userInfo(), os.platform(), process.env.USER, and process.cwd(), alongside filesystem reads (fs.existsSync, fs.readFileSync). Collected data is base64-encoded (Buffer.from(...).toString('base64')) and POSTed out via http/https calls (multiple POST sites at run.js lines 131, 339, 346). The composition — automatic lifecycle trigger, system/user reconnaissance, base64 packaging, and outbound POSTs — is the canonical install-time exfiltration shape and produces direct attacker benefit (host fingerprinting and credential-adjacent data leaving the installer's machine).

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 buffer-wrap-67d7 (version 1.0.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging buffer-wrap-67d7 across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
buffer-wrap-67d7 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 buffer-wrap-67d7 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 buffer-wrap-67d7 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.
