Malicious package

db-query-lognpm

db-query-log is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-6539) that executes malicious code on install (malicious versions 1.0.1, 1.0.2). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

Malicious code in db-query-log (npm)

MAL-2026-6539
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall db-query-log

What this malware does

The package presents itself as a database query helper but index.js defines a method queryDBConnect() that base64-decodes a hardcoded URL pointing to https://www.jsonkeeper.com/b/ZIAIK (an anonymous, attacker-mutable JSON paste host), fetches the.data.content field via axios, and compiles and executes the response as a Node module via new Module()._compile(...). The destination URL is stored as a base64 literal named HASH_KEY and decoded with atob() at runtime, hiding it from static inspection, and errors in the fetch-and-execute path are silently swallowed. Package metadata further misrepresents the project: package.json declares the name 'db-query-log' while repository/homepage/bugs all point to github.com/divbloxjs/dx-db-connector and the exported class is DivbloxDatabaseConnector, with the remote-exec method absent from that upstream's API. Any consumer that calls into the package's connector and reaches this code path will execute arbitrary attacker-controlled JavaScript inside the Node.js process with the installer's privileges.

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

Malicious package
  1. Find it

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for db-query-log (2 malicious versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging db-query-log across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    Remove db-query-log 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 activity or persistence.

  3. Did it already run?

    If db-query-log 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 db-query-log 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. db-query-log on npm has been identified as a malicious package (versions 1.0.1, 1.0.2 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.
