Malicious package

crossmint-wallets-sdknpm

Advisory published Updated

crossmint-wallets-sdk is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-6545) 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 crossmint-wallets-sdk (npm)

MAL-2026-6545
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall crossmint-wallets-sdk

What this malware does

Package name impersonates the Crossmint wallet SDK family. Both preinstall.js and index.js import child_process, capture host identifiers (hostname is read on line 7/9 respectively), and POST the collected data via https.request to a hardcoded external endpoint (line 12/23). The preinstall.js path fires automatically on npm install before any user code runs, giving the publisher install-time data exfiltration from any developer or build system that installs this package. The combination of child_process + hostname collection + outbound POST in a preinstall lifecycle script, in a package whose name typosquats a known wallet SDK, matches the active-attack credential/reconnaissance exfiltration fingerprint.

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

Credential / info stealer
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for crossmint-wallets-sdk (version 1.0.0).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    crossmint-wallets-sdk 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If crossmint-wallets-sdk 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. crossmint-wallets-sdk on npm has been identified as a malicious package (version 1.0.0 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.

Detect & block this

O3 blocks crossmint-wallets-sdk-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
