consumerwebnpm
consumerweb is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-10181) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 2200.4.2). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in consumerweb (npm)
What this malware does
On npm install, both preinstall and postinstall lifecycle hooks execute index.js, which collects host reconnaissance (os.hostname(), os.userInfo().username, os.homedir(), current working directory, DNS servers from dns.getServers(), and package metadata) and exfiltrates it via DNS lookup and an HTTPS POST to a subdomain of oast.fun (interact.sh OAST collaborator). The package name and description ('Internal App bUg b0UntY gollum22 h1') indicate a dependency-confusion attempt targeting an internal package name; any successful install both confirms the internal name is squattable and leaks identifying information about the installer's environment to the attacker's collaborator. No installer opt-in, no legitimate use case for the collected data going to an OAST endpoint.

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 consumerweb (version 2200.4.2). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging consumerweb across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
consumerweb 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 consumerweb 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 consumerweb 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.
