Malicious package

parket-slotnpm

Advisory published Updated

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)

MAL-2026-5643
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall parket-slot

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 stealer
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for parket-slot (version 0.0.6).

  2. 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If parket-slot 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

No. parket-slot on npm has been identified as a malicious package (version 0.0.6 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.

Detect & block this

O3 blocks parket-slot-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
