What this malware does

Package targets the electrode-io internal name electrode-ota-ui-app with an inflated 99.0.1 version to win dependency resolution against a private registry. package.json declares both main: index.js and scripts.postinstall: node index.js, so on npm install and on any require() the package unconditionally runs collectAndSend() in index.js. That function gathers host identifiers via os.hostname(), os.userInfo(), os.platform(), and os.release(), resolves the installer's public IP via ipify and geo/ISP data via ipapi.co, and POSTs a JSON payload to the hardcoded Burp Collaborator subdomain https://itfv50wbocctx0j32fyfq8z7uy0ptdn1c.oastify.com/callback, controlled by the package author. README self-labels as a dependency-confusion PoC, but the callback is live and any installer whose resolver picks this public package over the intended internal one is compromised.

Detection & response playbook

Malicious package

  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for electrode-ota-ui-app (2 malicious versions).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    Remove electrode-ota-ui-app 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If electrode-ota-ui-app 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. electrode-ota-ui-app on npm has been identified as a malicious package (versions 99.0.0, 99.0.1 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.

Detect & block this

O3 blocks electrode-ota-ui-app-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the malicious outbound activity and severs the channel.
