Which versions of content-common are malicious?

The following npm versions of content-common are flagged malicious: 99.9.9. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate content-common if I installed it?

content-common is a typosquat — you almost certainly intended a legitimately-named package. Remove content-common, install the correct package, and rotate any secrets exposed during the install since post-install scripts may have already run.

I already installed content-common — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If content-common 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.

Is content-common part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — content-common is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-016669 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

How do I find content-common across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for content-common (version 99.9.9).

What this malware does

[email protected] declares a preinstall lifecycle script in package.json that executes node -e to perform an HTTP GET to a unique subdomain of oastify.com (Burp Suite Collaborator): http://fyhmr907kt8qphysiu67m1p00r6iu8ix.oastify.com. This fires automatically on npm install, confirming arbitrary code execution on the installer's host and leaking the installer's public IP and DNS resolver metadata via the unique subdomain lookup to the attacker-controlled collaborator endpoint. The package's self-declared 'Mozilla bug bounty PoC' framing does not change the behavior: any consumer who installs this version triggers the out-of-band callback. The version number 99.9.9 is also consistent with a dependency-confusion / typosquat probe against an internal package name.
