npm uninstall no-for-of-loops

What this malware does

package.json declares no-for-of-loops as its own dependency and devDependency, with the source pointed at http://pack.nppacks.com/npm/no-for-of-loops instead of the npm registry. On npm install, npm fetches a tarball from this host over unauthenticated plain HTTP with no integrity hash, and installs its contents into the consumer's node_modules. The domain operator can serve arbitrary, mutable bytes on each fetch, meaning any code shipped from that host runs inside the installer's dependency tree. The main module's header additionally self-identifies the package as a 'Security Research Testing Purpose' artifact, and the package description is a bare 'NPM', consistent with a hijack-vector proof-of-concept rather than a functional utility. The auto-execute condition is satisfied: any default npm install of this package resolves and installs the attacker-controlled tarball without user opt-in.

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 package
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for no-for-of-loops (version 1.0.1).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    Remove no-for-of-loops 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If no-for-of-loops 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.

Frequently asked questions

No. no-for-of-loops on npm has been identified as a malicious package (version 1.0.1 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.

Detect & block this

O3 blocks no-for-of-loops-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the malicious outbound activity and severs the channel.
