Malicious package

hemi-supply-cronnpm

hemi-supply-cron is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-5779) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 999.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall hemi-supply-cron

What this malware does

package.json declares a preinstall hook (node postinstall.js) that fires automatically on npm install. The script collects host identity (os.hostname(), os.userInfo().username, process.cwd()) and enumerates 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 any credential-shaped variables (AWS keys, SSH/deploy tokens, RPC/wallet secrets, API tokens, etc.). The collected JSON payload is HTTPS POSTed to the hardcoded bare IP 185.130.46.35:8443 at path /collect. The package has no library functionality — index.js exports an empty object — and is published at version 999.0.0, the canonical dependency-confusion shape used to override an internal package name with a higher public version. The package's sole purpose is to harvest installer/CI secrets.

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 hemi-supply-cron (version 999.0.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging hemi-supply-cron across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    hemi-supply-cron 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 hemi-supply-cron 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 hemi-supply-cron 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.
