focaleysnpm
focaleys is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-17329) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 1.1.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in focaleys (npm)
What this malware does
package.json declares the dependency 'libsignal' as 'github:rexxzyid/libsignal-node' with no tag, version, or commit SHA. On npm install, this resolves to whatever the default branch HEAD contains at that moment, with no integrity check, and any lifecycle scripts in the fetched repository execute on the installer's machine. Whoever controls the rexxzyid GitHub account controls code that runs at install time for every installer of focaleys, and the fetched code can change silently between installs without any change to focaleys itself.

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 focaleys (version 1.1.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging focaleys across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove focaleys 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 focaleys 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 focaleys 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 focaleys-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.
