one-intuit-help-system-utilsnpm
one-intuit-help-system-utils is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-15517) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 45.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in one-intuit-help-system-utils (npm)
What this malware does
package.json declares a dependency whose key equals the package's own name (one-intuit-help-system-utils) and whose value is a bare HTTPS URL (https://repo.securityctrl.com/one-intuit-help-system-utils) rather than a registry version range. On npm install, npm resolves this URL, downloads whatever tarball bytes the host returns, and installs them — running any lifecycle scripts contained in that tarball — with no version pin, no integrity check, and no publisher verification. The shipped package content is an inert stub, so the manifest line itself is the entire published surface: the code that actually executes on installers comes from repo.securityctrl.com at install time and can change at any moment. The self-referential dependency name (dependency-confusion shape) and an implausibly high version (45.0.0) are consistent with a package designed to win resolution against an internal package of the same name.

Detection & response playbook
Malicious packageFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for one-intuit-help-system-utils (version 45.0.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging one-intuit-help-system-utils across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove one-intuit-help-system-utils 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 one-intuit-help-system-utils 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 one-intuit-help-system-utils 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.
