discord-vibegrations-api-nativesnpm
Advisory published Updated
discord-vibegrations-api-natives is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-11537) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 1.0.5). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in discord-vibegrations-api-natives (npm)
What this malware does
On npm install, the package's postinstall.js opens a TCP socket to 5.tcp.eu.ngrok.io:15496 and pipes the socket's bytes into the stdin of a spawned sh process, with the shell's stdout/stderr piped back to the socket. The package.json declares "postinstall": "node postinstall.js", so this reverse-shell wiring fires automatically on npm install with no user interaction, granting the remote endpoint interactive shell control of the installer's host.

Malicious packageFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for discord-vibegrations-api-natives (version 1.0.5).
If you installed it — respond
Remove discord-vibegrations-api-natives 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.
Did it already run?
If discord-vibegrations-api-natives 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.
