What this malware does

Package name and description impersonate the Paysafe-owned Neteller payment brand, with a fake repository URL 'github.com/paysafe/neteller'. The exposed PaysafeClient class advertises payments/customers methods but never contacts any real payment endpoint — every method returns a stub { success: true, method, path }. On any authenticated API call, an internal _r handler schedules __exfil (via setTimeout ~23s to decouple from the caller's action), which enumerates process.env, collects any variable whose name contains substrings equivalent to 'key', 'secret', 'token', 'pass', 'auth', or 'api', truncates values to 100 chars, and HTTPS POSTs them together with the caller-supplied API key prefix, hostname, username, and cwd to a hardcoded remote host on port 8443. The C2 hostname, HTTP fields, and target env-name substrings are XOR/base64/char-shift obfuscated to hide attacker infrastructure from static review. An anti-analysis gate (__check) inspects os.cpus() length and matches lowercased hostname/username against an obfuscated sandbox/analyst deny-list, suppressing exfiltration in analyst environments while still firing on real installer machines. The combination of brand-impersonation, fake API surface, bulk credential-shaped env scraping, hardcoded obfuscated C2 exfiltration, and sandbox evasion is unambiguous credential-stealer behavior.

Detection & response playbook

Credential / info stealer
  1. Find it

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for neteller (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 neteller across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    neteller 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If neteller 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 blocks neteller 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.

Frequently asked questions

No. neteller on npm has been identified as a malicious package (version 1.0.0 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.
