Malicious code in lhisp-logger (npm) Remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
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 packageFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for lhisp-logger (version 3.1.10). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging lhisp-logger across your stack and pipelines.
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.
Did it already run?
If lhisp-logger 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 lhisp-logger 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.

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.
