hyperpurenpm
Malicious code in hyperpure (npm) Remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
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 stealerFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for hyperpure (version 1.0.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging hyperpure across your stack and pipelines.
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.
Did it already run?
If hyperpure 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.
How O3 protects you
O3 blocks hyperpure 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.

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.
