claude-channel-discordnpm
claude-channel-discord is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-15922) that opens a backdoor for remote access (malicious version 9.9.9). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in claude-channel-discord (npm)
What this malware does
[email protected] is a dependency-confusion probe. package.json declares preinstall and postinstall hooks (node index.js --save-prod) and a main entry that both execute index.js, which reads os.hostname() and issues a GET to https://eo8f3m3ho26a0nm.m.pipedream.net/claude-channel-discord?h=${hostname}. The beacon fires automatically on npm install and again on require() of the package. The package has an empty description, an implausibly high 9.9.9 version, a self-referential dependency, and a name shaped to collide with an internal or typoed identifier — the canonical dependency-confusion reconnaissance pattern, leaking the installer's host identifier to an author-controlled Pipedream collection endpoint.

Detection & response playbook
Backdoor / remote accessFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for claude-channel-discord (version 9.9.9). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging claude-channel-discord across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
claude-channel-discord 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 claude-channel-discord 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 claude-channel-discord 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.
