Which versions of ksp-app are malicious?

The following npm versions of ksp-app are flagged malicious: 100.100.100. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate ksp-app if I installed it?

ksp-app 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.

I already installed ksp-app — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If ksp-app 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.

Is ksp-app part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — ksp-app is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-021424 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

How do I find ksp-app across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for ksp-app (version 100.100.100).

What this malware does

[email protected] is a dependency-confusion-shaped npm package whose only payload is an opaque prebuilt Linux x64 native addon loaded at install time. package.json declares scripts.postinstall="node postinstall.js", which require()s prebuilds/linux-x64/addon.node. The tarball ships no C/C++ source, no binding.gyp, and no build tooling; index.js exports an empty object, so the entire package behavior is in the native binary. On load, the ELF addon reads the environment variables HOSTNAME, npm_package_name, and npm_config_registry and POSTs them over a raw socket to the hardcoded bare-IP endpoint http://64.181.165.115/dc (HTTP/1.0, Host: 64.181.165.115, format string h=%.40s&p=%.40s&u=%.20s&r=%.80s). The version string 100.100.100, inert JS stub, generic "Frontend utilities" description, and a beacon that reports the installer's configured npm registry are the signature of a dependency-confusion exfiltration package used to confirm installs inside victim environments and disclose internal registry URLs to a third party.
