Advisory published Updated

Malicious code in polymarket-stake-mathss (npm)

MAL-2026-13707
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall polymarket-stake-mathss

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

Typosquat
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for polymarket-stake-mathss (version 3.5.2).

  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.

  3. 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.

Frequently asked questions
