fieldbase-webapplication-buildtoolsnpm
fieldbase-webapplication-buildtools is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-15847) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 99.99.99). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in fieldbase-webapplication-buildtools (npm)
What this malware does
package.json declares preinstall and install lifecycle scripts that collect the installer's username (whoami), hostname, current working directory, and npm package name, base64-encode them, and send them to the hardcoded endpoint https://eoy34oyrep9j5x8.m.pipedream.net via both an HTTPS GET path and a DNS-lookup channel (nslookup against a subdomain of the same host). This fires automatically on npm install with no user interaction. The version number 99.99.99 and package name pattern are consistent with a dependency-confusion lure targeting an internal package name.
The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'fieldbase-webapplication-buildtools' @ 99.99.99 (npm) as malicious.
It is considered malicious because:
-
The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity.
-
The package executes one or more commands associated with malicious behavior.

Detection & response playbook
Malicious packageFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for fieldbase-webapplication-buildtools (version 99.99.99). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging fieldbase-webapplication-buildtools across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove fieldbase-webapplication-buildtools 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 activity or persistence.
Did it already run?
If fieldbase-webapplication-buildtools 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 fieldbase-webapplication-buildtools 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.
