fnd-storesnpm
Malicious code in fnd-stores (npm) Remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
What this malware does
On npm install, the package's postinstall hook runs node index.js, which collects the installer's hostname, OS platform, current working directory, CI environment indicators, Node version, and OS username via os.hostname(), os.platform(), os.userInfo(), process.cwd(), and process env, and POSTs the payload as JSON to https://webhook.site/604bab71-0179-419e-998e-6f15e524bfd7 (a publisher-controlled webhook bin). The README self-describes the package as a dependency-confusion canary targeting an internal package namespace, and the name is chosen to collide with that internal scope. Any developer or build pipeline that resolves this package leaks internal hostnames, usernames, working-directory paths, and CI job metadata to a third party at install time, without consent. Claimed 'authorized research' status does not change the installer-side harm.

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 fnd-stores (2 malicious versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging fnd-stores across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove fnd-stores 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 fnd-stores 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 fnd-stores 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.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks fnd-stores-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the malicious outbound activity and severs the channel.
