hridoy-ultimatenpm
Advisory published Updated
hridoy-ultimate is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-17803) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 8.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in hridoy-ultimate (npm)
What this malware does
hridoy-ultimate 8.0.0 is an unofficial Facebook chat client that contains two installer-harming behaviors. First, the password-based login path in module/loginHelper.js forwards caller-supplied Facebook email, password, and Base32 TOTP 2FA secret to a hardcoded third-party endpoint at https://minhdong.site/api/v1/facebook/login_ios (default baked into module/config.js, not disclosed in README) and receives the resulting Facebook session cookies / access_token back through that server, giving the operator of minhdong.site full access to any account whose credentials pass through this path. Second, package.json declares fca-unofficial as github:VangBanLaNhat/fca-unofficial with no commit SHA or tag; npm resolves this against whatever the referenced repository's default branch contains at install time, and the vendor bundle under src/api/socket/e2ee/ actually requires that module, so arbitrary code controlled by that GitHub repo owner is pulled and executed on the installer at install and load time with no integrity check and no version lock. A separate opt-in WebSocket remote-control client (src/remote/remoteClient.js) is config-gated and does not itself exec received data.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for hridoy-ultimate (version 8.0.0).
If you installed it — respond
hridoy-ultimate 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.
Did it already run?
If hridoy-ultimate 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.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks hridoy-ultimate-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
