npm-rce-safe-proof-yournamenpm
npm-rce-safe-proof-yourname is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-10159) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 1.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in npm-rce-safe-proof-yourname (npm)
What this malware does
On npm install, postinstall.js runs whoami, reads os.hostname(), process.platform, and process.version, and transmits them via HTTPS GET to a hardcoded remote endpoint at https://testnpm.byte.eyes.sh/npm-proof. This fires automatically as a lifecycle hook with no user consent. The package's declared purpose (npm script for showing date strings) and its self-labeling as a 'safe proof' do not match the observed behavior — the code is a functional install-time identity beacon transmitting the installer's username and hostname to an author-controlled destination. Beaconing installer identity to a hardcoded third-party host on install is credential/identity leakage regardless of the 'proof' framing.

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 npm-rce-safe-proof-yourname (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 npm-rce-safe-proof-yourname across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
npm-rce-safe-proof-yourname 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 npm-rce-safe-proof-yourname 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 npm-rce-safe-proof-yourname 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.
