What this malware does

forge-jsx is a malicious npm package that impersonates an Autodesk Forge SDK. It was published as a fully-formed RAT from its first version on April 7, 2026. Installing the package on any non-CI machine deploys a persistent background agent that captures all keystrokes, monitors clipboard content, recursively scans the filesystem for .env files, reads shell history, and opens a WebSocket-based remote filesystem backdoor. All stolen data flows to 204.10.194.247. Persistence survives reboots via systemd (Linux), LaunchAgent (macOS), and Task Scheduler (Windows).

The package forge-jsx was found to contain malicious code.

Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.

Detection & response playbook

Backdoor / remote access
  1. Find it

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for forge-jsx (all published versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging forge-jsx across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    forge-jsx establishes remote access, so treat any host that installed it as fully compromised. Isolate the machine, remove the package, rotate all credentials it could reach, and rebuild from a trusted image rather than cleaning in place — a backdoor may have planted additional persistence.

  3. Did it already run?

    If forge-jsx 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 blocks forge-jsx 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.

Frequently asked questions

No. forge-jsx on npm has been identified as a malicious package (all published versions flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.
