Which versions of ethereum-kit-1 are malicious?

The following npm versions of ethereum-kit-1 are flagged malicious: 1.0.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate ethereum-kit-1 if I installed it?

ethereum-kit-1 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.

I already installed ethereum-kit-1 — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If ethereum-kit-1 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.

Is ethereum-kit-1 part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — ethereum-kit-1 is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-009509 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

How do I find ethereum-kit-1 across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for ethereum-kit-1 (version 1.0.0).
