Malicious package

optimizely-starter-kit-for-fastly-computenpm

optimizely-starter-kit-for-fastly-compute is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-14138) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 1.0.1). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

Malicious code in optimizely-starter-kit-for-fastly-compute (npm)

MAL-2026-14138
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall optimizely-starter-kit-for-fastly-compute

What this malware does

package.json declares preinstall: node index.js, causing index.js to run automatically on npm install. The script collects host identifiers (os.hostname(), os.userInfo(), homedir, DNS servers, __dirname, package.json contents) and reads /etc/passwd and /etc/hosts, then POSTs the payload over HTTPS to aguu8c8gjyt4anjao3nhru1mgdm5avyk.oastify.com, a Burp Collaborator out-of-band interaction subdomain. The package name resembles legitimate Optimizely/Fastly Compute tooling, consistent with a dependency-confusion or typosquat exfiltration beacon.

Detection & response playbook

Credential / info stealer
  1. Find it

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for optimizely-starter-kit-for-fastly-compute (version 1.0.1). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging optimizely-starter-kit-for-fastly-compute across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    optimizely-starter-kit-for-fastly-compute 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If optimizely-starter-kit-for-fastly-compute 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 blocks optimizely-starter-kit-for-fastly-compute 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.

Frequently asked questions

No. optimizely-starter-kit-for-fastly-compute on npm has been identified as a malicious package (version 1.0.1 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.
