frontend-backofficenpm
Malicious code in frontend-backoffice (npm) Remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
What this malware does
Malicious package due to arbitrary command execution, data exfiltration to Telegram, and a suspicious preinstall script executing code on installation.
The package frontend-backoffice was found to contain malicious code.
Malicious versions
Every published version of this package is considered malicious — remove it entirely.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for frontend-backoffice (all published versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging frontend-backoffice across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
frontend-backoffice 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 frontend-backoffice 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 frontend-backoffice 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 frontend-backoffice-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
