Malicious package

com.apple.unityplugin.storekitnpm

Advisory published Updated

com.apple.unityplugin.storekit is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-16477) that opens a backdoor for remote access (malicious versions 1.0.1, 1.0.2). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

Malicious code in com.apple.unityplugin.storekit (npm)

MAL-2026-16477
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall com.apple.unityplugin.storekit

What this malware does

The package impersonates an Apple/Unity StoreKit internal namespace (com.apple.unityplugin.storekit) and, on require(), index.js performs an HTTPS GET to a hardcoded Project Discovery Interactsh (oast.fun) subdomain, transmitting the package name, os.platform(), and os.hostname() as query parameters (target: https://dapnhid534ch06s9vpm0mbg1httu5gytc.oast.fun). The behavior is unconditional, undocumented, and fires at module load with no caller opt-in. The name/scope, the author claim of 'Apple, Inc', and the OAST callback destination are the standard dependency-confusion reconnaissance shape: the beacon confirms that an internal build system has resolved the attacker's public package instead of Apple's private one, and leaks the internal hostname of the machine that resolved it.

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

Backdoor / remote access
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for com.apple.unityplugin.storekit (2 malicious versions).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    com.apple.unityplugin.storekit 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If com.apple.unityplugin.storekit 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. com.apple.unityplugin.storekit on npm has been identified as a malicious package (versions 1.0.1, 1.0.2 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.

Detect & block this

O3 blocks com.apple.unityplugin.storekit-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the C2 callback and severs the channel.
