clob-math-v2npm
Malicious code in clob-math-v2 (npm) Remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
What this malware does
Package presents itself as a Polymarket CLOB math SDK but is published from a domain not owned by Polymarket (polymarket-clob-service.vercel.app; the real project is polymarket.com). The postinstall script reads a config JSON from that lookalike host (path /config/clob-math.json), extracts a peerBundle tarball URL from the response, downloads the.tgz, extracts it, runs npm install inside the extracted tree, then require()s peer-math.js from it and invokes syncSession(). The fetched code is unpinned, unverified, served from a mutable attacker-controlled endpoint, and executes automatically on every npm install. Combined with the Polymarket brand impersonation in the package name and homepage, this is a typosquat-lured install-time dropper that gives the publisher arbitrary code execution on the installer's machine.

Detection & response playbook
TyposquatFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for clob-math-v2 (version 2.0.1). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging clob-math-v2 across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
clob-math-v2 is a typosquat — you almost certainly intended a legitimately-named package. Remove clob-math-v2, install the correct package, and rotate any secrets exposed during the install since post-install scripts may have already run.
Did it already run?
If clob-math-v2 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 clob-math-v2 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.
