Which versions of data-utils-bcf2 are malicious?

The following npm versions of data-utils-bcf2 are flagged malicious: 1.0.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate data-utils-bcf2 if I installed it?

Remove data-utils-bcf2 from your project and lockfile, then assume any secrets accessible to the build or runtime were exposed: rotate API keys, tokens, and credentials, and audit for unexpected outbound network activity or persistence. Use O3 Security's dependency scanner to confirm the package and its artifacts are fully purged across your stack.

Is data-utils-bcf2 part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — data-utils-bcf2 is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-006960 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

Can O3 Security detect data-utils-bcf2 in my codebase?

Yes. O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, blocking data-utils-bcf2 and packages like it before any post-install script runs.

What this malware does

The package declares a postinstall lifecycle hook ("postinstall": "node run.js" in package.json) that automatically executes run.js on install. run.js imports os, fs, http, https, and child_process, collects host identifying information (os.hostname(), os.platform()), reads files from disk (fs.readFileSync, fs.existsSync), and issues multiple POST requests over HTTP/HTTPS (run.js lines 134, 137, 348, 355). The combination of automatic install-time execution, host fingerprinting, filesystem reads, and outbound POSTs is the canonical install-time exfiltration shape. Installing this package on a developer machine or CI runner will run the reconnaissance and exfiltration code without user interaction.
