Malicious package

data-utils-d703npm

data-utils-d703 is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-6112) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 1.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

MAL-2026-6112
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall data-utils-d703

What this malware does

The package declares a postinstall lifecycle hook ("postinstall": "node run.js" in package.json) that executes run.js automatically on install. run.js imports child_process, os, https, and http, calls os.hostname() and os.platform(), and contains multiple POST and GET HTTP request sites. This combination — automatic install-time execution plus host enumeration plus outbound HTTP — is the structural shape of an installer-side exfiltration or dropper, but the specific destinations, payload contents, and execution paths within run.js have not been fully traced, so attacker intent is not confirmed. Manual review of run.js is required to determine whether the network calls target attacker-controlled infrastructure and whether host data is exfiltrated or remote code is fetched and executed.

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

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for data-utils-d703 (version 1.0.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging data-utils-d703 across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    data-utils-d703 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 data-utils-d703 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 data-utils-d703 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.

Frequently asked questions

No. data-utils-d703 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.
