Malicious package

dakumangalsingh_virusnpm

dakumangalsingh_virus is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-13761) that opens a backdoor for remote access (malicious versions 1.0.0, 1.2.0, 1.3.0). 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 dakumangalsingh_virus

What this malware does

The tarball contains a 455 KB Windows PE64 executable named DakuMangalSingh.exe (sha256 368320791e5c022ffabedb44eae6ca902fe3f524754a085b726617c2006dc791) alongside a zero-byte index.js. package.json declares no preinstall/install/postinstall/prepare lifecycle scripts and its main entry is empty, so neither npm install nor require() of the package causes the binary to be executed, decoded, or written elsewhere. The package name self-labels as a virus, and no documentation, source, or purpose is provided for the shipped binary. Installing or importing this package in a normal npm pipeline does not run the executable; harm would only occur if a user were separately induced to launch DakuMangalSingh.exe on a Windows host.

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

Backdoor / remote access
  1. Find it

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for dakumangalsingh_virus (3 malicious versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging dakumangalsingh_virus across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    dakumangalsingh_virus establishes remote access, so treat any host that installed it as fully compromised. Isolate the machine, remove the package, rotate all credentials it could reach, and rebuild from a trusted image rather than cleaning in place — a backdoor may have planted additional persistence.

  3. Did it already run?

    If dakumangalsingh_virus 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 dakumangalsingh_virus 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.
