Which versions of exodus-ethereum-sdk are malicious?

The following npm versions of exodus-ethereum-sdk are flagged malicious: 99.0.0-canary.1. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate exodus-ethereum-sdk if I installed it?

Remove exodus-ethereum-sdk 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 network activity or persistence. Use O3 Security's dependency scanner to confirm the package and its artifacts are fully purged across your stack.

Is exodus-ethereum-sdk part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — exodus-ethereum-sdk is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-005108, IN-MAL-2026-005107 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

Can O3 Security detect exodus-ethereum-sdk in my codebase?

Yes. O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, blocking exodus-ethereum-sdk and packages like it before any post-install script runs.

What this malware does

Package name impersonates the Exodus cryptocurrency wallet brand and ships no real functionality (src/index.js exports an empty object; package.json self-describes as a 'HackerOne PoC'). The package.json declares a postinstall hook (node src/canary.js) which fires automatically on npm install. src/canary.js performs a DNS lookup and HTTPS GET to a hardcoded 96e03fa6c292469a-172-245-86-254.serveousercontent.com subdomain — Serveo is an anonymous reverse-tunnel service, so the destination is operator-controlled and not tied to any identifiable publisher. Each install reveals the installer's public IP and DNS resolver to whoever currently controls that tunnel. Combined with the brand-impersonating name (installers may pull this expecting a legitimate Exodus SDK), the package functions as an install-time beacon against unsuspecting installers regardless of the author's stated 'research' intent.
