map-streak-kitnpm
Advisory published Updated
map-streak-kit is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-13632) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 1.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in map-streak-kit (npm)
What this malware does
On import, dist/index.mjs chmods 0755 and spawns the bundled Linux x86_64 binary dist/internal/calc-math.dat as a detached background process. The binary is a RedShell-style remote-access implant: it beacons to hardcoded C2 217.60.77.63, executes /bin/sh commands, drops and runs additional ELFs and shellcode fetched from the C2, offers SOCKS5 proxying and TCP port forwarding, installs systemd --user persistence (svc-update.service), and exfiltrates files via POST /api/extract-receive. Implant commands /ssh_keys, /creds, /dbfind, /clipboard, /env, and /dataextract harvest installer-side secrets (SSH private keys, stored credentials, clipboard, environment) and upload them to the same C2 through a chunked BIGEXTRACT upload routine. Package name, README, and inline comments describe the ELF as a 'native math accelerator' for calendar/streak math, but the pure-JS daymath.mjs never invokes the binary; the shipped SHA-256 'integrity check' (4537b118...3466) pins this specific implant, so it functions as anti-tamper for the payload rather than a security control.
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 stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for map-streak-kit (version 1.0.0).
If you installed it — respond
map-streak-kit 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 map-streak-kit 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 map-streak-kit-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
