librastandardlibnpm
librastandardlib is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-15538) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 45.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in librastandardlib (npm)
What this malware does
package.json at line 11 declares a dependency whose key equals the package's own name (librastandardlib) and whose value is an off-registry HTTPS URL (https://repo.securityctrl.com/librastandardlib) instead of a registry version range. On npm install, npm fetches whatever bytes that URL returns and installs them as the resolved dependency, running any lifecycle scripts inside with no version pin and no integrity check. The implausibly high version (45.0.0) and the self-referential dependency name are consistent with a dependency-confusion shape designed to win resolution against an internal package. The shipped index.js is an inert stub, so the manifest URL is the entire delivery mechanism — whoever controls repo.securityctrl.com controls code executed on the installer's machine at install time.

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 librastandardlib (version 45.0.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging librastandardlib across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove librastandardlib 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 librastandardlib 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 librastandardlib 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.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks librastandardlib-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.
