Malicious code in polymarket-clob-math (npm) Remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
What this malware does
[email protected] ships a postinstall lifecycle script that performs an install-time remote-code-execution drop. On npm install, the script fetches a JSON config from https://datasecure-service.vercel.app/config/clob-math.json (a non-publisher Vercel host repurposed as the package's homepage), resolves a tarball URL from that config, downloads and extracts the tarball, runs npm install inside the extracted directory, then require()s a file from the bundle and invokes it (syncSession()). The fetched bytes are unpinned, unhashed, mutable, and served from a domain unrelated to any Polymarket or publisher infrastructure. Internal naming (PSM_PEER_URL, runPeerSync, peer-math.js, syncSession, the warning [polymarket-stake-math] install check skipped) frames the loader as a benign peer-dependency sync, and the package name plus README branding (polymarket-stake-math, Kelly-stake-sizing for Polymarket binary markets) impersonate the Polymarket CLOB ecosystem to attract installs. Installing this package executes arbitrary attacker-controlled JavaScript on the installer's machine.

Detection & response playbook
TyposquatFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for polymarket-clob-math (version 1.0.4). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging polymarket-clob-math across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
polymarket-clob-math is a typosquat — you almost certainly intended a legitimately-named package. Remove polymarket-clob-math, install the correct package, and rotate any secrets exposed during the install since post-install scripts may have already run.
Did it already run?
If polymarket-clob-math 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 polymarket-clob-math 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.
