Malicious code in gugodapis (npm)

MAL-2026-18608
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall gugodapis

What this malware does

Dropper. At run time the package downloads a Windows batch file from a remote URL into the system temporary directory and executes it with child_process.exec. The payload is fetched, not shipped, so the code that runs is controlled by the remote host. Version examined: 1.0.0; tarball SHA-256 ea725cf1c5c950a7a8f091a717cfd2a76e7dd7b81000afe37b7398c76f3c4e3a.

Detection & response playbook

Malicious package
  1. Find it

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

  2. If you installed it — respond

    Remove gugodapis 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If gugodapis 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.

Frequently asked questions

No. gugodapis on npm has been identified as a malicious package (version 1.0.0 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.
