Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall notifier-log

What this malware does

The package presents itself as a pino-compatible logger (main entry exports a middleware aliased as pino, and lib/ contains pino-shaped files such as proto.js, redaction.js, multistream.js, transport.js), but its middleware spawns a detached child process running lib/caller.js which fetches a JSON blob from a hardcoded jsonkeeper.com paste, extracts a .cookie string, and passes it to new Function.constructor('require', s)(require). This executes attacker-controlled JavaScript with full require access under the installer's Node process. A base64-encoded backup endpoint and secret header key are stored in lib/const.js (decoding to a second jsonkeeper.com paste URL with an x-secret-key header), providing a redundant delivery channel. Because jsonkeeper.com is a mutable public paste site, the served payload can be changed at any moment. The logger API is a cover story for the dropper.

Detection & response playbook

Malicious package
  1. Find it

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for notifier-log (version 1.3.5). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging notifier-log across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    Remove notifier-log 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 notifier-log 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 notifier-log 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

Detect & block this

O3 blocks notifier-log-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.
