Which versions of nullrift are malicious?

The following npm versions of nullrift are flagged malicious: 1.0.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate nullrift if I installed it?

nullrift 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.

I already installed nullrift — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If nullrift 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.

Is nullrift part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — nullrift is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-009763 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

How do I find nullrift across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for nullrift (version 1.0.0).

What this malware does

Package advertises itself as an SVG fetcher/sanitizer but its main module also exports an undocumented getPlugin() function. The returned function performs an HTTP request to https://www.jsonkeeper.com/b/3P9BF with a custom 'bearrtoken' header, parses the JSON response, and passes the 'model' field directly to eval(). jsonkeeper.com is a public, mutable, anonymous paste host — whoever controls the paste can change its contents at any time and thereby execute arbitrary JavaScript inside any consumer process that invokes the exported function. The hidden code path is inconsistent with the package's declared SVG-utility purpose and is the canonical shape of a supply-chain backdoor giving the paste operator remote code execution on downstream consumers.
