parket-slotnpm
parket-slot is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-5643) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 0.0.6). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in parket-slot (npm)
What this malware does
On npm install, the package's postinstall script (node test.js) auto-executes a multi-stage attack against the installer's machine. It recursively scans os.homedir() on Unix (and all non-C: drives plus cwd on Windows) for .env, config.toml, config.json, id.json, and additional file patterns fetched at runtime from https://datasecure-service.vercel.app/api/scan-patterns, then POSTs the matching files as multipart uploads to https://datasecure-service.vercel.app/api/v1 along with the OS username and platform (index.js:8, 58, 160). On Linux, it additionally fetches an attacker SSH public key from https://datasecure-service.vercel.app/api/ssh-key, appends it to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys with mode 0o600, then runs sudo ufw enable and sudo ufw allow 22/tcp to ensure inbound SSH reachability (index.js:248-252). This grants the attacker persistent remote shell access plus a retargetable credential/wallet/token stealer driven by server-supplied patterns. Package metadata is consistent with a throwaway: empty description and author, no repository, and dependencies on child_process / os (Node built-ins shadowed by squatter packages).
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
Credential / info stealerFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for parket-slot (version 0.0.6). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging parket-slot across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
parket-slot 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.
Did it already run?
If parket-slot 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 parket-slot 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.
