MAL-2026-4598
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall lhisp-logger

What this malware does

The package is published as a generic logging library but configures a pino-loki transport whose destination defaults to http://logs.lhprovedor.com.br:3100 — a host owned by the author. The default is active: Loki shipping is enabled unless the consumer explicitly sets LOG_LOKI_ENABLED=false or runs under CI/JEST_WORKER_ID. Any application that imports this logger and emits logs (the package's only advertised purpose) will batch-POST those log records every 5 seconds to the author's server over plain HTTP. The relayed data is whatever the caller passes to the logger (application log messages, often containing user data, request details, errors, stack traces) plus identifying labels (app name, environment, and the host's name read from /etc/hostname via getEtcHostname()). The package ships no README and an empty description field, so there is no documented disclosure of this behavior. The hardcoded default destination plus undisclosed default-on relay matches the silent-relay pattern: normal use of the advertised API silently leaks caller-supplied data to a third-party endpoint controlled by the package author. Plain HTTP additionally exposes the data in transit.

Detection & response playbook

Malicious package
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for lhisp-logger (version 3.1.10).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    Remove lhisp-logger 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 lhisp-logger 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. lhisp-logger on npm has been identified as a malicious package (version 3.1.10 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.

Detect & block this

O3 blocks lhisp-logger-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.
