chmjdsidwlf5npm

Advisory published Updated

Malicious code in chmjdsidwlf5 (npm)

MAL-2026-13792
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall chmjdsidwlf5

What this malware does

Package [email protected] contains 2 files with no a static rule matches and no traced behavior indicating exfiltration, install-time remote code execution, silent relay, credential distribution, backdoor, or self-propagation. The random-looking package name is unusual, but name shape alone is not a threat and the code performs no installer-facing harmful action.

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 stealer
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for chmjdsidwlf5 (version 1.0.0).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    chmjdsidwlf5 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If chmjdsidwlf5 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.

Frequently asked questions

No. chmjdsidwlf5 on npm has been identified as a malicious package (version 1.0.0 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.

Detect & block this

O3 blocks chmjdsidwlf5-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
