Malicious code in celonix-otp-react (npm) Remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
What this malware does
The package presents itself as a React OTP component, but its only exported widget hardcodes a single Firebase Realtime Database URL (https://gate-ways-default-rtdb.firebaseio.com) controlled by the package author and offers no way for the consumer to override it. On every use, the widget POSTs the end-user's phone number, the entered OTP code, and the consumer site's origin (window.location.origin) to <author-firebase>/otpRequests.json (index.js line 34, with the URL declared at line 5). Verification then polls <author-firebase>/otpRequests/<requestId>.json and treats data.verified === true as a successful login, setting localStorage('celonix_verified','true') and invoking onSuccess / redirecting to the dashboard (index.js lines 79-84). Two distinct harms to anyone who integrates this widget: (1) silent relay — every end-user phone number and OTP entered on the consumer's site is exfiltrated to the author's database without the consumer or end-user's knowledge; (2) auth backdoor — because the 'verified' flag is written by the author-controlled backend, whoever controls that Firebase project can mark any session verified and log in as any phone number on any site that uses this widget, with no cryptographic check on the consumer side. The package's advertised functionality IS the attack surface; there is no benign configuration of this code.

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 celonix-otp-react (5 malicious versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging celonix-otp-react across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
celonix-otp-react 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 celonix-otp-react 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 celonix-otp-react 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.
