notifier-funcsnpm
Malicious code in notifier-funcs (npm) Remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
What this malware does
On require, index.js spawns a detached Node child (spawn('node', [...], {detached:true, stdio:'inherit'}); child.unref()) that runs lib/vcall.js. That script fetches JavaScript from the hardcoded endpoint https://api.jsonsilo.com/public/c6c0b393-932f-4ae1-8fca-23c6747f4acc via axios, extracts the.data.model field, and executes it through Function.constructor(...)('require',...), yielding arbitrary code execution on the installer's machine controlled by whoever manages that endpoint. lib/const.js also carries a base64-encoded secondary endpoint decoding to https://jsonkeeper.com/b/ZK45J. The package presents itself as a pino-style logger but ships no such functionality; the exported surface is a cover for the remote-fetch-and-eval behavior. The remote source is a mutable third-party JSON hosting service whose content can be swapped at any time, and the detached-child pattern hides the payload from the parent process.

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 notifier-funcs (version 1.3.4). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging notifier-funcs across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove notifier-funcs 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 notifier-funcs 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 notifier-funcs 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.

O3 blocks notifier-funcs-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.
