font-hubnpm
Advisory published Updated
font-hub is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-10450) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 1.5.2). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in font-hub (npm)
What this malware does
index.js exports a getPlugin() function that performs an HTTPS request to https://svganchordev.net/icons/<token> and passes the response's credits field into new Function('require','module','exports',...,'Promise', data.credits), then invokes it with the real require, process, Buffer, and I/O globals. This executes attacker-controlled JavaScript with full Node.js privileges whenever a consumer imports the package and calls its default export. The package presents itself as a React SVG/font helper, but the README content documents an unrelated 'polymarket-clob-api' project, and the declared dependencies (@primno/dpapi, better-sqlite3, node-machine-id) are consistent with browser-credential-store access on Windows. The fetched endpoint is unrelated to any font/SVG CDN; an iconDomain map referencing cloudflare/fastly/akamai and a font-awesome path are decorative and unused by the live code path, which unconditionally targets svganchordev.net.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for font-hub (version 1.5.2).
If you installed it — respond
font-hub 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 font-hub 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.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks font-hub-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
