Which versions of dc-renewals-layout2 are malicious?

The following npm versions of dc-renewals-layout2 are flagged malicious: 9999.0.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate dc-renewals-layout2 if I installed it?

dc-renewals-layout2 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.

I already installed dc-renewals-layout2 — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If dc-renewals-layout2 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.

Is dc-renewals-layout2 part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — dc-renewals-layout2 is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-014970 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

How do I find dc-renewals-layout2 across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for dc-renewals-layout2 (version 9999.0.0).

Immediate action

Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.

npm uninstall dc-renewals-layout2

What this malware does

The package's preinstall script auto-runs on npm install and issues a plaintext HTTP GET to http://75.119.137.232:31337/depconfuse carrying the installer's hostname, username, current working directory, configured npm registry, and CI repository slug environment variables as query parameters. The 9999.0.0 version combined with the /depconfuse endpoint path is the fingerprint of a dependency-confusion reconnaissance beacon: the CI repository slug reveals the names of the installer's private internal packages/repos, which enables targeted follow-on dependency-confusion attacks against the installer's organization. The destination is a hardcoded bare IP on a non-standard port with no relation to the package's declared purpose.
