ogensec-sdknpm
Advisory published Updated
ogensec-sdk is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-10639) that executes malicious code on install (malicious versions 1.1.1, 1.2.1). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in ogensec-sdk (npm)
What this malware does
The package ships an Express middleware that, on each incoming request, POSTs {appId, endpoint} to a configured ${baseUrl} and interprets the response as a list of items containing a hotfix.code string. That string is wrapped as return (async ()=>{ <code> })(); and passed to Object.getPrototypeOf(async function(){}).constructor (AsyncFunction) with require, req, res parameters, then awaited. Any JavaScript returned by the configured server therefore runs inside the installer's Node process with full require access and access to the live request/response objects on every HTTP request served through the middleware. The feature is marketed only as 'Dynamic security hotfixes' and is not documented as arbitrary remote code execution. The entire shipped dist/ tree (index.js, bridge.js, client.js) is processed by javascript-obfuscator (rotated base64 string arrays, hex-named identifiers) as declared by the obfuscate/prepublishOnly scripts in package.json, and no source is published — concealing the remote-code-execution mechanism from developers reviewing the SDK. Any compromise, takeover, or on-path MITM of the configured backend converts every deployment using this middleware into a live RCE on production traffic; the maintainer of the backend also holds a persistent, undisclosed remote-execution channel into every installer.

Detection & response playbook
Malicious packageFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for ogensec-sdk (2 malicious versions).
If you installed it — respond
Remove ogensec-sdk 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 ogensec-sdk 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 ogensec-sdk-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.
