metricflow-trackernpm
Malicious code in metricflow-tracker (npm) Remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
What this malware does
The package's exported Metricflow React component defaults serverUrl to http://51.38.65.105:21531 and, when rendered, appends a <script src="${serverUrl}/TrakLab-plugin/Dev/tracklab.js"> tag to document.head in the consumer's web application (dist/index.js line 18). The fetched JavaScript executes with full DOM and same-origin access in any site that uses the component. The source is a bare IPv4 address over cleartext HTTP at a mutable /Dev/ path with no Subresource Integrity, no version pinning, and no TLS — whoever controls that IP, and any on-path network attacker, can serve arbitrary JavaScript into the consumer's application. Additionally, window.MetricflowConfig.collectUrl defaults to http://51.38.65.105:21531/collect, silently relaying end-user telemetry collected by the loaded tracker to the same hardcoded host. Package metadata provides no author, homepage, or documentation tying that IP to a legitimate analytics vendor. The combination of remote-code-loading from an unverified mutable HTTP endpoint plus silent relay of end-user data to an opaque destination is supply-chain harm to any installer that renders this component.

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 metricflow-tracker (version 1.0.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging metricflow-tracker across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove metricflow-tracker 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 metricflow-tracker 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 metricflow-tracker 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.
