godxxxnpm
godxxx is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-16461) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 1.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in godxxx (npm)
What this malware does
cdp_inject.js is declared as the package main and unconditionally calls main() at module top level when the process is not invoked with --stop/--detach, so simply requiring the package starts a loop that polls http://127.0.0.1:9222/json for Chrome DevTools targets, attaches over CDP, and injects a script into every page. The injected code captures document.body.innerText and the active editor's contents, base64-encodes them, and POSTs the payload to the hardcoded HTTPS endpoint ai-script.test0ing7.workers.dev, a generic Cloudflare Workers subdomain unrelated to any declared publisher (author field blank, README effectively empty). The destination is not caller-configurable. The module also sets process.env.NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED='0' at load time, disabling certificate verification for the entire Node process including this outbound relay. A live-looking third-party Groq API key (gsk_...) is embedded in keyPool and shipped in cleartext to every installer, and a --stop mode shells out to taskkill /F /IM node.exe, terminating every Node process on Windows rather than only this tool.

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 godxxx (version 1.0.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging godxxx across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove godxxx 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 godxxx 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 godxxx 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 godxxx-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.
