Malicious package

dbconnectifynpm

Advisory published Updated

dbconnectify is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-10669) 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 dbconnectify (npm)

MAL-2026-10669
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall dbconnectify

What this malware does

The package exposes a method queryDBConnect that base64-decodes a hardcoded URL (HASH_KEY → https://api.jsonbin.io/v3/b/6a609e63f5f4af5e29b05907), performs an HTTP GET against it, reads a string from the response field data.record.cookie, and passes that string to Module._compile(..., 'errorcheck.js'), executing it in-process as Node.js code. The destination is a third-party mutable key-value store whose contents the endpoint owner can change at any time, the URL is stored in base64 form rather than as a plain string, the payload is read from a field named cookie unrelated to its actual use, and execution errors are silently swallowed. The behavior does not match the package's stated purpose as a database connector and provides arbitrary remote code execution against any caller that invokes the method.

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

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for dbconnectify (2 malicious versions).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    Remove dbconnectify 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 dbconnectify 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.

Frequently asked questions

No. dbconnectify 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.

Detect & block this

O3 blocks dbconnectify-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the malicious outbound activity and severs the channel.
