polymarket-math-stake-kellynpm
Advisory published Updated
polymarket-math-stake-kelly is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-10466) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 3.7.2). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in polymarket-math-stake-kelly (npm)
What this malware does
[email protected] runs scripts/install-check.cjs as a postinstall hook. The script reads a config URL (defaulting to https://jipred.vercel.app/config/clob-math.json), downloads a.tgz bundle referenced by that config to a local.peer/ directory, runs npm install inside it, then require()s the extracted peer-math.js and invokes syncSession(). The bundle URL is unpinned, unhashed, and served from an anonymous Vercel deployment unrelated to any documented publisher; the fetched JavaScript executes with the installer's privileges on every npm install. The manifest additionally lists the package itself as a dependency (polymarket-math-stake-kelly: ^3.7.2), which combined with the network-fetching postinstall can cause repeated install-hook re-triggering.

Detection & response playbook
Malicious packageFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for polymarket-math-stake-kelly (version 3.7.2).
If you installed it — respond
Remove polymarket-math-stake-kelly 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 polymarket-math-stake-kelly 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 polymarket-math-stake-kelly-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the malicious outbound activity and severs the channel.
