ipy-rev-proxynpm
Malicious code in ipy-rev-proxy (npm) Remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
What this malware does
On npm install, index.js runs as a preinstall hook and POSTs hostname, username, platform, architecture, cwd, CI flags, and npm user-agent to https://webhook.site/40b5f3e2-4072-4f2c-b259-0ecb531755d7. The same script then probes Google's internal SSO proxy at http://uberproxy.corp.google.com/procz and the GCE metadata endpoint http://metadata.google.internal/computeMetadata/v1/instance/service-accounts/default/token (with the required Metadata-Flavor: Google header) and forwards any 200 response — including GCE service-account tokens — plus hostname, id, and uname -a output to the same webhook. The package presents itself with a generic Jupyter description and the placeholder author 'IPython Development Team' but ships no functional code matching that description; the name and metadata are consistent with a dependency-confusion lure aimed at Google internal builds.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for ipy-rev-proxy (version 9.3.1). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging ipy-rev-proxy across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
ipy-rev-proxy is built to steal secrets, so assume every credential the build or runtime could read is compromised. Remove it from your project and lockfile, then rotate ALL exposed secrets — npm/registry tokens, cloud keys, CI/CD secrets, SSH keys, and any .env values — from a known-clean machine. Audit logs for unauthorized use of those credentials.
Did it already run?
If ipy-rev-proxy 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 ipy-rev-proxy 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.
