nativescript-swisspost-imagepickernpm
nativescript-swisspost-imagepicker is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-5792) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 52.31.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in nativescript-swisspost-imagepicker (npm)
What this malware does
package.json declares preinstall: node index.js. On npm install, index.js reads process.env.INIT_CWD (the installing project's working directory), takes its basename, and POSTs a JSON payload {pkg, timestamp, transport, project} to the hardcoded URL https://deepbounty.dd06-dev.fr/cb/d27071f6-8aa6-43b9-98be-0caf9803fba5. The package name nativescript-swisspost-imagepicker, the package description (Security PoC for Bug Bounty), and the comment Harmless dependency confusion PoC in index.js identify this as a dependency-confusion squat targeting an internal Swiss Post NativeScript namespace. On install, the installer's internal project name is silently leaked to a third-party endpoint, confirming the existence and naming of private packages and giving the operator of deepbounty.dd06-dev.fr a directory of organizations whose builds resolved this public package. Author self-labelling it as a bug-bounty PoC does not change the installer-side impact: unsolicited install-time outbound network carrying installer-side identifiers to an attacker-controlled host.
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
Malicious packageFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for nativescript-swisspost-imagepicker (version 52.31.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging nativescript-swisspost-imagepicker across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove nativescript-swisspost-imagepicker 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 nativescript-swisspost-imagepicker 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 nativescript-swisspost-imagepicker 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.
