Which versions of ezfnfix are malicious?

The following npm versions of ezfnfix are flagged malicious: 1.0.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate ezfnfix if I installed it?

ezfnfix 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 ezfnfix — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If ezfnfix 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 ezfnfix part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — ezfnfix is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-015808 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 ezfnfix across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for ezfnfix (version 1.0.0).

What this malware does

On Windows, npm install ezfnfix automatically executes a bundled Windows PE binary via a postinstall hook. package.json declares scripts.postinstall = "node postinstall.js", and postinstall.js enumerates bin/*.exe and runs the first entry with execFileSync. The shipped bin/ezfn.exe is a ~114 KB VB.NET executable whose metadata contains identifiers consistent with a remote-access trojan and infostealer: Telegram bot exfiltration primitives (SendBot, ChatID), socket C2 (ClientSocket, ConnectServer, ActivatePong), a spreading routine (Spread), AV/Defender-exclusion logic (Exclusion), webcam access (avicap32.dll), WMI-based host enumeration (ManagementObjectSearcher, get_UserName, get_MachineName, get_OSFullName, get_TotalPhysicalMemory), registry persistence handles (RegistryKey, CurrentUser), symmetric cryptography primitives, and WebClient/DownloadString network fetch. The binary ships with no source, no build step, no hash or signature verification, and no purpose consistent with the package name. Installing on Windows results in immediate execution of the RAT against the installer's host, exfiltrating identity and system information via Telegram/socket channels and providing persistent remote access.
