polymarket-stake-mathssnpm
Advisory published Updated
polymarket-stake-mathss is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-13707) that typosquats a legitimate package to trick installs (malicious version 3.5.2). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in polymarket-stake-mathss (npm)
What this malware does
Typosquat of polymarket-stake-math (double s). The postinstall script (install-check.cjs) resolves a bundle URL from the package.json homepage field (https://log-taker.store/config/stake-math-sync.json), downloads a tarball via fetchToFile, extracts it with tar -xzf, runs npm install inside the extracted directory, then require()s .peer/peer-math.js and invokes syncSession(). The fetch is unpinned, unsigned, and points at an author-controlled domain unrelated to any Polymarket infrastructure. The install-time code path is wrapped in benign-sounding identifiers (resolvePeerBundleUrl, runPeerSync, extractPeerBundle, PSM_INSTALL_FAST) that imitate a legitimate peer-dependency check. Installing the package causes arbitrary attacker-controlled code from log-taker.store to execute on the installer's machine.
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
TyposquatFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for polymarket-stake-mathss (version 3.5.2).
If you installed it — respond
polymarket-stake-mathss is a typosquat — you almost certainly intended a legitimately-named package. Remove polymarket-stake-mathss, 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-stake-mathss 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-stake-mathss-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.
