What this malware does

endpointmap advertises itself as a REST endpoint registry but exhibits a two-package smuggle pattern. lib/registry.js exports two non-printable byte arrays (_ep of length 36, _p of length 7) annotated as 'Endpoint host segment' / 'Endpoint path segment', with a comment claiming they are 'processed at runtime by the consumer for portability.' Neither array is read anywhere in endpointmap's own code — index.js only exposes the registry object — and the bytes are opaque (XOR-shaped, with no key shipped in this package). At the same time, package.json declares "bytecraft": "*" as a dependency. endpointmap's source never requires bytecraft; the only effect of the declaration is to force installation of whatever bytecraft@latest happens to be at install time. The combination — staged encoded data in this package plus an unpinned, never-imported sibling that can be updated to act as the decoder/runtime — is the canonical 'data here, decoder there' split designed to evade per-package review. An installer of endpointmap is exposed to whatever bytecraft resolves to at install/require time, including future malicious versions, without endpointmap itself ever needing another release.

Detection & response playbook

Malicious package
  1. Find it

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for endpointmap (2 malicious versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging endpointmap across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    Remove endpointmap 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 endpointmap was ever installed, its post-install/runtime payload may have already executed. O3's L7 egress monitoring and runtime eBPF sensors detect the credential exfiltration or command-and-control callback after install and block the malicious outbound channel, so you catch and contain the actual compromise — not just the presence of the package.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 blocks endpointmap before install through its supply-chain scanner, and if it has already run, detects and severs the exfiltration or C2 callback at runtime through L7 egress monitoring and eBPF.

Frequently asked questions

No. endpointmap on npm has been identified as a malicious package (versions 2.1.0, 3.0.0 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.
