Which versions of polymarket-kit are malicious?

The following npm versions of polymarket-kit are flagged malicious: 2.4.1. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate polymarket-kit if I installed it?

polymarket-kit establishes remote access, so treat any host that installed it as fully compromised. Isolate the machine, remove the package, rotate all credentials it could reach, and rebuild from a trusted image rather than cleaning in place — a backdoor may have planted additional persistence.

I already installed polymarket-kit — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If polymarket-kit 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.

Is polymarket-kit part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — polymarket-kit is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-009235 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

How do I find polymarket-kit across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for polymarket-kit (version 2.4.1).

What this malware does

Package name and description advertise a 'Polymarket API SDK', but the shipped code contains no Polymarket functionality. The exported getPlugin() helper fetches JSON from https://svganchordev.net/icons/106 and passes the response's credits field to a Function constructor invoked with require, module, process, Buffer, and related Node globals — giving the remote endpoint arbitrary code execution in the caller's Node.js process. The Polymarket branding and 'react/helper/svg' keywords are cover for a remote fetch-and-eval backdoor. The tarball also inadvertently ships an OpenSSH ed25519 private key (gitlab) belonging to the author, which does not harm the installer but should be rotated by the maintainer.
