cb-wallet-httpnpm
cb-wallet-http is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-4507) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 0.0.1). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in cb-wallet-http (npm)
What this malware does
Package name mimics Coinbase's internal cb-wallet-* namespace to capture dependency-confusion resolutions. On npm install (postinstall.js) and on require('cb-wallet-http') (index.js), the package issues an HTTPS GET to the hardcoded endpoint https://icy-cell-fb53.gh0stfqce25.workers.dev/poc, transmitting the package name and Node.js runtime version to a third-party Cloudflare Workers domain registered under a personal handle (gh0stfqce25.workers.dev) unrelated to Coinbase. The package's own description self-identifies as a 'RESERVED PLACEHOLDER — coordinated security-research namespace claim' with the repository github.com/gh0stfqce/npm-namespace-claims. Regardless of the author's stated research intent, any organization that installs this package via misconfigured registry resolution leaks host/build-topology identifiers to the operator of the worker without consent, fingerprinting which builds are vulnerable to dependency confusion against Coinbase's namespace.
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
Credential / info stealerFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for cb-wallet-http (version 0.0.1). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging cb-wallet-http across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
cb-wallet-http 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 cb-wallet-http 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 cb-wallet-http 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.
