Which versions of executable-stories-init are malicious?

The following npm versions of executable-stories-init are flagged malicious: 0.1.2. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate executable-stories-init if I installed it?

executable-stories-init 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 executable-stories-init — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If executable-stories-init 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 executable-stories-init part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — executable-stories-init is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-008776 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 executable-stories-init across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

What this malware does

The package was found to contain malicious code or consuming dependency that contains malicious code

The Miasma malware is a self-propagating worm that spreads across the npm registry by abusing weaponized binding.gyp files to achieve execution during package installation, bypassing security tools that only inspect package lifecycle scripts. Upon execution, the malware attempts to exfiltrate credentials and OIDC tokens for various cloud and registry services, and propagates by compromising other packages managed by the stolen accounts or committing backdoor files to GitHub repositories.
