Which versions of godxxx are malicious?

The following npm versions of godxxx are flagged malicious: 1.0.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate godxxx if I installed it?

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.

I already installed godxxx — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If godxxx 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.

Is godxxx part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — godxxx is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-020456 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

How do I find godxxx across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for godxxx (version 1.0.0).

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.
