pfp-forms-sme-sitebuildernpm
pfp-forms-sme-sitebuilder is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12415) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 20.2.1). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in pfp-forms-sme-sitebuilder (npm)
What this malware does
index.js unconditionally requires./support on module load. support.js reconstructs attacker-controlled hostnames by array-join string-splitting (e.g. ["oob-worker.cf102-baf.w","orkers",".d","ev"].join("") and DNS-TXT fallback hosts like tin.dl.well1.site), downloads a platform-specific binary via https.get, writes it to a hidden staging path (/var/tmp/.cache<hex> on Unix or %TEMP%/dotnet_diag<hex>.exe on Windows) using a masquerade name, chmods it 0755, and spawns it detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd.exe. Hostname string-splitting and dynamic reconstruction of API names (e.g. fs["chmod"+"Sync"]) constitute affirmative concealment. A sibling module lib/telemetry.js contains matching write+chmod+spawn dropper primitives with base64 chunk reassembly; it is not wired from index.js in this version but ships as a secondary dropper path. Fetch destinations are non-publisher, unpinned, and unverified; the fetched bytes are executed on the installer host on any require() of the package.
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
Malicious packageFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for pfp-forms-sme-sitebuilder (version 20.2.1). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging pfp-forms-sme-sitebuilder across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove pfp-forms-sme-sitebuilder from your project and lockfile, then assume any secrets accessible to the build or runtime were exposed: rotate API keys, tokens, and credentials, and audit for unexpected outbound activity or persistence.
Did it already run?
If pfp-forms-sme-sitebuilder 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 pfp-forms-sme-sitebuilder 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.
