lumen-pages-communitynpm
Advisory published Updated
lumen-pages-community is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-14356) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 9.9.9). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in lumen-pages-community (npm)
What this malware does
[email protected] declares a postinstall hook (node dc.js) that runs automatically on npm install. dc.js collects the installer's hostname, username, current working directory, platform, Node version, CI environment variable, and npm user-agent, then issues an HTTPS GET to a hardcoded webhook.site collector URL (https://webhook.site/b00492c6-27ba-4ea0-a9cb-dd50b3770250/dc) with those fields as query parameters. The package name plus a 9.9.9 version and no library functionality matches the dependency-confusion shape: a high-version public namesake that catches internal-name resolution and phones home from any host that resolves it. A self-labeled 'research placeholder' framing in the package description does not change the runtime behavior — installer identifiers leave the host at install time to a third-party collector the installer did not opt into.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for lumen-pages-community (version 9.9.9).
If you installed it — respond
lumen-pages-community 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 lumen-pages-community 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.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks lumen-pages-community-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
