nms-dashboard-jsnpm
nms-dashboard-js is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-13451) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious versions 9.9.0, 9.9.11). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in nms-dashboard-js (npm)
What this malware does
[email protected] declares an npm install lifecycle hook (scripts.install: "node index.js") that unconditionally requires ./lib/core inside a swallow-all try/catch. The loaded code reads os.userInfo().username, os.hostname(), and the basename of process.cwd(), concatenates them with a timestamp into a subdomain of oob.sl4x0.xyz, and issues a dns.resolve4 lookup, exfiltrating installer host identifiers via DNS out-of-band. The destination domain and the API/property names (os, dns, userInfo, hostname, cwd, resolve4, oob.sl4x0.xyz) are reconstructed at runtime from hex char-code arrays in lib/b02e30.js and lib/6ad264.js to conceal the sink. The beacon also fires on any require() of the package, not only on install. The advertised purpose ("enterprise utilities") does not require any such network activity.
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
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for nms-dashboard-js (2 malicious versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging nms-dashboard-js across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
nms-dashboard-js 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 nms-dashboard-js 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 nms-dashboard-js 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.
