Advisory published Updated
ocfe-tv-subscription-center-web is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-15941) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious versions 0.0.1, 9999.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in ocfe-tv-subscription-center-web (npm)
What this malware does
Package name resembles an internal-scoped name and uses an implausibly high version (9999.0.0) consistent with dependency-confusion targeting. The preinstall.js lifecycle script runs automatically on npm install and collects installer identifiers (os.hostname, os.userInfo().username, cwd, __dirname, platform/os.release, node version, npm user-agent, resolved package name and version) and transmits them through three channels to author-controlled destinations: a DNS lookup whose subdomain labels are hex-encoded fields (token, package name, hostname, username) appended to dae7n4pijsh1ahi9684gu8get3kaiefc9.oast.online, an HTTPS POST to the same interactsh host, and an HTTP POST to the bare IP 5.189.159.252. The DNS channel provides a covert side-channel that bypasses HTTP-only egress filtering. A self-labelled 'bug bounty research' header in the file does not change the behavior: installing this package causes installer-side identifiers to leave the machine to hardcoded, non-configurable endpoints.
The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'ocfe-tv-subscription-center-web' @ 0.0.1 (npm) as malicious.

Credential / info stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for ocfe-tv-subscription-center-web (2 malicious versions).
If you installed it — respond
ocfe-tv-subscription-center-web 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 ocfe-tv-subscription-center-web 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.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks ocfe-tv-subscription-center-web-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
