hyperion-react-native-testappnpm
Advisory published Updated
hyperion-react-native-testapp is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2025-6727) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 1.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in hyperion-react-native-testapp (npm)
What this malware does
The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity.
package.json declares a preinstall lifecycle script that runs wget at npm install time, sending the installer's username ($(whoami)), current working directory ($(pwd)), and hostname ($(hostname)) as URL query parameters to a hardcoded webhook.site collector (https://webhook.site/c4919b2f-dd76-4a2f-adca-2f052bc8ff0e/). This fires unconditionally on npm install without user consent and delivers installer identity/environment data to a third-party collector controlled by whoever created the webhook. The package name pattern and beacon shape are consistent with a dependency-confusion proof-of-concept, but the exfiltration behavior is real regardless of intent.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for hyperion-react-native-testapp (version 1.0.0).
If you installed it — respond
hyperion-react-native-testapp 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 hyperion-react-native-testapp 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 hyperion-react-native-testapp-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
