os-info-meeb322knpm
os-info-meeb322k is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-16149) that opens a backdoor for remote access (malicious version 1.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in os-info-meeb322k (npm)
What this malware does
The package's postinstall lifecycle script runs unconditionally on npm install. It collects host identifiers (hostname, platform, architecture, kernel release, uid/gid, CPU count, memory) and internal network interface addresses, base64-encodes the payload, and POSTs it over plain HTTP to the hardcoded subdomain vml73pdk3ft3t434ssjycv4khbn2btzi.oastify.com — a Burp Collaborator (OAST) callback host used to confirm code execution on the installer. The package has no other functionality; its sole install-time effect is the outbound beacon carrying installer reconnaissance data to an attacker-controlled domain.

Detection & response playbook
Backdoor / remote accessFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for os-info-meeb322k (version 1.0.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging os-info-meeb322k across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
os-info-meeb322k establishes remote access, so treat any host that installed it as fully compromised. Isolate the machine, remove the package, rotate all credentials it could reach, and rebuild from a trusted image rather than cleaning in place — a backdoor may have planted additional persistence.
Did it already run?
If os-info-meeb322k 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 os-info-meeb322k 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.
