What this malware does

The package contains callback.js which collects host identifiers and user information (os.hostname(), os.userInfo(), os.platform(), cwd) and transmits them via an HTTPS request. The file structures the collected data with fields like hostname, username, and cwd — the canonical reconnaissance-beacon shape used by dependency-confusion / supply-chain reconnaissance campaigns. The package name and 99.0.0 version (a high-version-number pattern typical of dependency-confusion attacks targeting internal package names) further corroborate malicious intent. Installing or loading this package leaks identifying information about the installer's machine to an external endpoint.

Detection & response playbook

Backdoor / remote access
  1. Find it

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for itc-actors-api (version 99.0.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging itc-actors-api across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    itc-actors-api 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If itc-actors-api 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 blocks itc-actors-api 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.

Frequently asked questions
