Malicious package

developer-dashboardnpm

Advisory published Updated

developer-dashboard is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-13762) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious versions 1.0.2, 1.0.3). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

Malicious code in developer-dashboard (npm)

MAL-2026-13762
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall developer-dashboard

What this malware does

The package presents itself as a 'developer dashboard' but ships a heavily obfuscated single-file payload (obfuscator.io-style _0xXXXX identifiers with a rotated string array) that harvests Discord tokens, saved logins, MFA/backup codes, stored payment methods (Stripe/Braintree), and account metadata, and additionally scrapes Roblox cookies, Steam data, and Telegram data. The hooker routine prepends os.hostname() and os.userInfo().username to each payload and POSTs the stolen data along with zipped session/log archives (session.zip, logs.zip) to a hardcoded Discord webhook at https://discord.com/api/webhooks/1536683755937202208/..., with a t.me/umidivouches Telegram channel referenced in the embed footer. An embedded base64 blob decodes to an Electron session.webRequest injection module with %INJECT_WEBHOOK% / %INJECT_DUALHOOK% placeholders that hook wss://remote-auth-gateway.discord.gg/*, /auth/login, /mfa/totp, and /users/@me to intercept Discord authentication in-app. The package also downloads a portable Python runtime (python.3.10.0.nupkg from globalcdn.nuget.org), extracts python.exe, and executes a generated temp script from the install directory — an alternate-runtime dropper unrelated to any dashboard function. Anti-analysis code enumerates blacklisted hostnames/usernames (e.g., DESKTOP-JHUHOTB, WINZDS-VQH86L5D) and analyst tools (ghidra, hiew, sysmon64, vboxservice) to skip execution on researcher machines.

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

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for developer-dashboard (2 malicious versions).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    developer-dashboard 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 developer-dashboard 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. developer-dashboard on npm has been identified as a malicious package (versions 1.0.2, 1.0.3 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.

Detect & block this

O3 blocks developer-dashboard-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
