goldenflow-jsnpm
Advisory published Updated
goldenflow-js is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-11463) 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 goldenflow-js (npm)
What this malware does
lib/report.js in [email protected] collects installer-side data using node's os, child_process, and fs modules (os.hostname(), os.userInfo(), execSync-derived output, and fs.readFileSync on local files) and transmits it via https.request POST to a hardcoded external endpoint at hooks.zapier.com (referenced at lib/report.js line 12, request built at line 118, POSTed at line 121). The destination is an author-controlled Zapier webhook rather than any first-party or user-configured endpoint, and the payload combines host identifiers, user account information, command output, and file contents read from the installer's filesystem.
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
Malicious packageFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for goldenflow-js (version 1.0.0).
If you installed it — respond
Remove goldenflow-js 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 goldenflow-js 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 goldenflow-js-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.
