Which versions of crypto-checkout-api are malicious?

The following npm versions of crypto-checkout-api are flagged malicious: 1.0.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate crypto-checkout-api if I installed it?

crypto-checkout-api 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.

I already installed crypto-checkout-api — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If crypto-checkout-api 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 crypto-checkout-api part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — crypto-checkout-api is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-014936, GHSA-cg47-54wp-xjp9 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 crypto-checkout-api across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for crypto-checkout-api (version 1.0.0).

Malicious package

Advisory published Aug 5, 2026Updated Aug 6, 2026

crypto-checkout-api is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12666) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 1.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

Immediate action

Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.

npm uninstall crypto-checkout-api

What this malware does

index.js exports getPlugin() which issues an HTTPS request to a hardcoded bare-IP endpoint at https://46.183.25.232:45000/icons/112 and passes the response field data.credits to new Function('require','module',...,data.credits), executing attacker-controlled JavaScript with require, process, and Buffer injected. The request is framed with cover-story naming (a font-awesome/CDN path fragment and a 'bearrtoken: logo' header) that is unrelated to the actual bare-IP destination and inconsistent with the package's stated 'crypto checkout' purpose. Declared dependencies (@primno/dpapi for Windows DPAPI unwrap, node-machine-id, better-sqlite3) are consistent with a credential/wallet-stealer payload delivered through the loader.

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.
