f0-fpti-tracking-managernpm
f0-fpti-tracking-manager is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2023-8293) that opens a backdoor for remote access (malicious versions 5.6.8, 28.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in f0-fpti-tracking-manager (npm)
What this malware does
index.js runs automatically via a preinstall lifecycle hook on npm install and collects host identifiers from the installer's machine — os.hostname(), os.platform(), os.arch(), os.homedir(), and dns.getServers() — then POSTs them as JSON to the hardcoded out-of-band host gzj3hokp9obe68j49uaui8anfel690xp.oastify.com/hit. The oastify.com destination is a Burp Collaborator subdomain used to receive callbacks from compromised hosts. The package self-describes as a 'Dependency confusion proof of concept', consistent with a dependency-confusion callback beacon that fires on default install.
Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.
The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'f0-fpti-tracking-manager' @ 28.0.0 (npm) as malicious.
It is considered malicious because:
- The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity.

Detection & response playbook
Backdoor / remote accessFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for f0-fpti-tracking-manager (2 malicious versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging f0-fpti-tracking-manager across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
f0-fpti-tracking-manager establishes remote access, so treat any host that installed it as fully compromised. Isolate the machine, remove the package, rotate all credentials it could reach, and rebuild from a trusted image rather than cleaning in place — a backdoor may have planted additional persistence.
Did it already run?
If f0-fpti-tracking-manager 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.
How O3 protects you
O3 blocks f0-fpti-tracking-manager 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.
