easypanel-deploynpm
Advisory published Updated
easypanel-deploy is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-16074) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 1.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in easypanel-deploy (npm)
What this malware does
The package's preinstall lifecycle script runs automatically on npm install and collects installer-side identifiers — os.hostname(), os.userInfo().username, the current working directory, and CI-related environment variable names — base64url-encodes them, and sends them to a hardcoded third-party out-of-band collector under oob.lyomeri.com via both a DNS lookup (easypanel-deploy.<chunk>daco3v4q6f49egu1ds1gwjnsjb88s5kcp.oob.lyomeri.com) and an HTTP GET request to the same host. The behavior fires without user consent on install, exfiltrates host reconnaissance data to an attacker-controlled endpoint, and is consistent with a dependency-confusion / beacon package. An in-source comment labeling this as a 'benign canary' does not change the observable behavior.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for easypanel-deploy (version 1.0.0).
If you installed it — respond
easypanel-deploy 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.
Did it already run?
If easypanel-deploy 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 easypanel-deploy-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
