Malicious package

hyperpurenpm

Advisory published Updated

hyperpure is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-6370) 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 hyperpure (npm)

MAL-2026-6370
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall hyperpure

What this malware does

On npm install, the preinstall lifecycle script in package.json runs curl to POST the installer's hostname (hostname -f), current user (whoami), working directory (pwd), and a base64-encoded dump of the entire process environment (env | base64 -w0) over plain HTTP to http://d8s0b82plbq3u5sb2vo0sb3a9obr4yjt7.oast.site, an interactsh-style out-of-band collector domain. The dumped environment commonly includes CI tokens, cloud credentials (AWS_*, GCP, Azure), npm publish tokens, and other secrets present at install time, so any installer running npm install hyperpure discloses those secrets to an attacker-controlled listener. The package itself is otherwise hollow — index.js only exports { name: 'hyperpure', version: '1.0.0' } — and the package metadata claims to be Zomato's internal hyperpure restaurant-supply-chain library, matching the shape of a dependency-confusion attack against an internal package name. The harm fires automatically on default install with no user opt-in.

Detection & response playbook

Credential / info stealer
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for hyperpure (version 1.0.0).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    hyperpure 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 hyperpure 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. hyperpure on npm has been identified as a malicious package (version 1.0.0 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.

Detect & block this

O3 blocks hyperpure-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
