Which versions of grafeno-billing are malicious?

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

How do I remediate grafeno-billing if I installed it?

grafeno-billing 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.

I already installed grafeno-billing — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If grafeno-billing 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 grafeno-billing part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — grafeno-billing is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-019151 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 grafeno-billing across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for grafeno-billing (version 1.0.0).

What this malware does

[email protected] is a stub package whose only substantive code is a preinstall lifecycle hook. On npm install, preinstall.js enumerates process.env, filters keys matching AWS|TOKEN|KEY|SECRET|PASS|API, concatenates them with hostname and username, base64-encodes the result, and sends it via curl GET to http://216.126.236.46/r.php. On non-Windows hosts the same script also launches an interactive bash reverse shell to 216.126.236.46:4444 via /dev/tcp, giving the operator of that endpoint command execution on the installer's machine. The shipped index.js is a one-line stub returning a fake createInvoice result, with no real billing functionality, confirming the package exists solely to deliver the install-time attack.
