commerce-materialsnpm
commerce-materials is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-16330) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 1.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in commerce-materials (npm)
What this malware does
[email protected] declares preinstall and postinstall lifecycle scripts that run callback.js on every npm install. callback.js collects hostname, username, platform, cwd, home directory, CI/cloud provider fingerprints, network interface addresses, and a filtered list of process.env variable names matching credential-shaped patterns (token, secret, key, password, aws, azure, gcp, npm, ssh, jwt). It also probes the current working directory for the presence of.env,.env.local,.env.production,.npmrc,.yarnrc, package-lock.json, yarn.lock,.git/config,.docker/config.json, credentials, and secrets.json. The assembled report is POSTed to api.telegram.org using a hardcoded bot token (8636277735) and chat_id (1064260758). A secondary DNS-based exfiltration channel base64-encodes host, user, and CI fields into a subdomain of dc-callback.example.com and issues dns.resolve queries, providing a fallback when HTTPS egress is filtered. The behavior fires automatically on npm install with no user interaction and no documented opt-in.

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 commerce-materials (version 1.0.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging commerce-materials across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
commerce-materials 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 commerce-materials 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 commerce-materials 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.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks commerce-materials-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
