dc-repronpm
Advisory published Updated
dc-repro is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-10102) that opens a backdoor for remote access (malicious version 2.1.2). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in dc-repro (npm)
What this malware does
On npm install, postinstall.js issues an HTTP GET to a hardcoded bare-IP endpoint at http://130.49.177.51:18080/p/dc-20260627-yandex-geobase carrying the package name, version, and a campaign tag (bb-yandex-geobase-20260627). The beacon fires automatically as a lifecycle script with no user opt-in, confirming code execution inside the installer's environment and exposing the installer's source IP / network position to an attacker-controlled host over plain HTTP. The package additionally declares a dependency on yandex-geobase and labels its callback with that package name, consistent with a dependency-confusion probe targeting the yandex-geobase namespace. Installer impact: any machine that resolves and installs dc-repro silently emits a network callback to the hardcoded IP at install time.

Detection & response playbook
Backdoor / remote accessFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for dc-repro (version 2.1.2).
If you installed it — respond
dc-repro establishes remote access, so treat any host that installed it as fully compromised. Isolate the machine, remove the package, rotate all credentials it could reach, and rebuild from a trusted image rather than cleaning in place — a backdoor may have planted additional persistence.
Did it already run?
If dc-repro 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.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks dc-repro-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the C2 callback and severs the channel.
