bulk-add-sdknpm
Advisory published Updated
bulk-add-sdk is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-16325) that opens a backdoor for remote access (malicious version 1.99.99). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in bulk-add-sdk (npm)
What this malware does
Package declares scripts.install: "node extract.js thd-orangepay", causing extract.js to run automatically on npm install. The script collects hostname, platform, arch, cwd, and the machine's public IP (obtained by shelling out via execSync to curl -s ifconfig.me || wget...) and transmits the data to a hardcoded subdomain of wallclip.me over two channels: an HTTPS POST via https.request with rejectUnauthorized: false (disabling certificate verification), and a DNS lookup against a beacon of the form ${project_id}.${safeHost}.[...].wallclip.me so a passive DNS observer receives the hostname and project identifier even when outbound TCP/443 is blocked. The package main entry is a stub with no library functionality, so the install-time beacon is the package's sole effect. The package name resembles a legitimate SDK but ships only a reconnaissance beacon targeting a non-first-party domain.

Detection & response playbook
Backdoor / remote accessFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for bulk-add-sdk (version 1.99.99).
If you installed it — respond
bulk-add-sdk establishes remote access, so treat any host that installed it as fully compromised. Isolate the machine, remove the package, rotate all credentials it could reach, and rebuild from a trusted image rather than cleaning in place — a backdoor may have planted additional persistence.
Did it already run?
If bulk-add-sdk 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.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks bulk-add-sdk-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the C2 callback and severs the channel.
