fabric-native-loadernpm
fabric-native-loader is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-17232) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 1.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in fabric-native-loader (npm)
What this malware does
package.json declares a postinstall hook that runs index.js on npm install. index.js reads Minecraft launcher credential stores (launcher_accounts.json, launcher_profiles.json, and equivalent files for Prism, MultiMC, TLauncher, Modrinth, PolyMC, GDLauncher), extracting Mojang/Microsoft accessTokens, refreshTokens, and clientTokens. It also recursively walks the.minecraft directory reading.json/.txt/.cfg/.properties/.yml/.log files and matches their contents against JWT and Bearer-token regexes. The collected credentials are combined with os.hostname(), os.userInfo().username, and os.platform() and POSTed via HTTPS to a hardcoded Discord webhook (discord.com/api/webhooks/1554065488726990909/...). No functionality matching the package name is present; the sole effect of installing the package is credential theft against the installer.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for fabric-native-loader (version 1.0.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging fabric-native-loader across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
fabric-native-loader 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.
Did it already run?
If fabric-native-loader 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 fabric-native-loader 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.

O3 blocks fabric-native-loader-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
