Malicious code in oit-lib-oracle-util (npm)

MAL-2026-15541
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall oit-lib-oracle-util

What this malware does

package.json declares a dependency whose key (oit-lib-oracle-util) matches this package's own name and whose value is a bare HTTPS URL — https://repo.securityctrl.com/oit-lib-oracle-util — instead of a registry version range. On npm install, npm fetches whatever bytes that URL returns at install time and installs them, running any lifecycle scripts inside the fetched artifact. The source is unpinned, has no integrity hash, and is unrelated to the npm registry; the host repo.securityctrl.com is not a known registry mirror and has no association with a declared publisher. The shipped index.js is an inert stub, so the manifest itself is the entire delivery mechanism. The self-referential name and implausibly high version (45.0.0) are consistent with a dependency-confusion lure designed to win resolution against an internal package of the same name.

Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.

Detection & response playbook

Malicious package
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for oit-lib-oracle-util (version 45.0.0).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    Remove oit-lib-oracle-util 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 oit-lib-oracle-util 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.

Frequently asked questions

Detect & block this

O3 blocks oit-lib-oracle-util-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.
