Malicious package

Malicious code in confluence-rest (npm)

MAL-2026-15532
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall confluence-rest

What this malware does

package.json declares a self-referential dependency whose key equals the package's own name (confluence-rest) and whose value is the bare HTTPS URL https://repo.securityctrl.com/confluence-rest rather than a semver range. On npm install, npm resolves that URL and installs whatever tarball the host returns, running any lifecycle scripts inside it, with no version pin and no integrity check. The shipped index.js is an inert stub, so the manifest URL is the entire code-delivery path for the package. Whoever controls repo.securityctrl.com controls code that executes on the installer's machine at install time, and the self-referential dependency-confusion shape (same name as the published package, version 30.0.0 sufficient to win resolution against a legitimate internal package of the same name) indicates targeting of internal-package resolution.

Detection & response playbook

Malicious package
  1. Find it

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for confluence-rest (version 30.0.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging confluence-rest across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    Remove confluence-rest from your project and lockfile, then assume any secrets accessible to the build or runtime were exposed: rotate API keys, tokens, and credentials, and audit for unexpected outbound activity or persistence.

  3. Did it already run?

    If confluence-rest 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 blocks confluence-rest 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.

Frequently asked questions
