Which versions of hemi-earn-actions are malicious?

The following npm versions of hemi-earn-actions are flagged malicious: 999.0.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate hemi-earn-actions if I installed it?

hemi-earn-actions 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 hemi-earn-actions — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If hemi-earn-actions 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 hemi-earn-actions part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — hemi-earn-actions is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-006485, RLMA-2026-05551, RLUA-2026-06269 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 hemi-earn-actions across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for hemi-earn-actions (version 999.0.0).

Immediate action

Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.

npm uninstall hemi-earn-actions

What this malware does

On npm install, the package's preinstall script (postinstall.js) collects host metadata (hostname, username, cwd, npm config) and iterates process.env, filtering keys against the regex /key|secret|token|pass|private|ssh|deploy|auth|api|rpc|wallet|sentry|docker|graph|slack|host/i to harvest credential-shaped variables. The resulting JSON payload is POSTed over HTTPS to a hardcoded bare-IP endpoint, https://185.130.46.35:8443/collect. The package itself has no functional API — index.js is module.exports = {} — and the version 999.0.0 plus the description 'Internal package' fit the dependency-confusion pattern aimed at organizations that resolve a private name hemi-earn-actions from the public registry. Installer harm is automatic credential exfiltration of CI/developer secrets to attacker-controlled infrastructure.
