payment-account-input-selectornpm
Advisory published Updated
payment-account-input-selector is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-4635) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 1.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in payment-account-input-selector (npm)
What this malware does
On npm install, preinstall.js collects hostname, username, platform, cwd, timestamp, and a full dump of os.networkInterfaces() and HTTP-GETs them as query parameters to a hardcoded Burp Collaborator (oastify.com) endpoint. Errors are silently swallowed (the source comment notes 'Silent fail to avoid detection'). The package's metadata advertises an Oracle JET payment account selector but ships only a 5-line stub for index.js — the only real logic is the install-time beacon. The combination of empty author metadata, generic 'oracle/jet/payment' keywords, hollow main entry, and a recon-only preinstall is consistent with a dependency-confusion probe against an internal Oracle JET package name, with installer host/network topology exfiltrated to the attacker's OAST collector.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for payment-account-input-selector (version 1.0.0).
If you installed it — respond
payment-account-input-selector 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 payment-account-input-selector 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.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks payment-account-input-selector-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
