Which versions of kuaishou are malicious?

The following npm versions of kuaishou are flagged malicious: 99.9.9, 99.9.10, 99.9.11. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate kuaishou if I installed it?

kuaishou 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 kuaishou — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If kuaishou 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.

Is kuaishou part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — kuaishou is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-009806, IN-MAL-2026-009805, GHSA-hwmq-4g98-3x4p, IN-MAL-2026-010458 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 kuaishou across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for kuaishou (3 malicious versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging kuaishou across your stack and pipelines.

Malicious package

kuaishounpm

kuaishou is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-10416) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious versions 99.9.9, 99.9.10, 99.9.11). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

Immediate action

Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.

npm uninstall kuaishou

What this malware does

The package's prepare lifecycle script, which runs automatically on npm install, collects host, user, and platform identifiers along with the full process.env and POSTs them to a hardcoded ngrok tunnel at crabbing-thong-overhung.ngrok-free.dev (path /?cross_os_cloud=1). When executed in GitHub Actions, it additionally reads ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_URL and ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_TOKEN, requests a GitHub Actions OIDC ID token, and includes that token in the exfiltrated payload. The version number (99.9.9) and hardcoded attacker-controlled tunnel destination are consistent with a dependency-confusion / typosquat lure targeting CI environments; the OIDC token can be exchanged for cloud credentials via configured trust relationships.

Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.

Detection & response playbook

Credential / info stealer

Find it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for kuaishou (3 malicious versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging kuaishou across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
kuaishou 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 kuaishou 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 kuaishou 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.
