Malicious package

htps-providernpm

Advisory published Updated

htps-provider is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-15567) that executes malicious code on install (malicious versions 1.0.10, 1.0.11). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

Malicious code in htps-provider (npm)

MAL-2026-15567
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall htps-provider

What this malware does

Package is published as htps-provider with a README copy-pasted verbatim from the legitimate Cosmos chain-registry project (advertising assets, chains, ibc exports and the same install/example snippets). The actual entrypoints do not expose that API: index.js and esm/index.mjs simply re-export HttpProvider from a runtime dependency named supersignaturenature (declared in package.json as "supersignaturenature": "^1.0.6"). esm/index.mjs performs a top-level static import of that dependency, so any ESM consumer that imports htps-provider immediately executes code from supersignaturenature. The name-and-README cover story, mismatched published API, and use of an obscurely-named third-party dependency as the sole runtime payload match the loader/stager half of a supply-chain attack, with the executable payload delivered through the transitively-installed dependency rather than this tarball. The chain.js files flagged by network/command patterns appear to be inert data/persistence modules unrelated to the loader path.

Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.

Detection & response playbook

Malicious package
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for htps-provider (2 malicious versions).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    Remove htps-provider 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 htps-provider 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. htps-provider on npm has been identified as a malicious package (versions 1.0.10, 1.0.11 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.

Detect & block this

O3 blocks htps-provider-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the malicious outbound activity and severs the channel.
