Malicious package

postcss-selector-minifynpm

postcss-selector-minify is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-10614) that executes malicious code on install (malicious versions 1.0.0, 2.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

npm uninstall postcss-selector-minify

What this malware does

Package is published as postcss-selector-minify (a word-order permutation of cssnano's widely used postcss-minify-selectors) and registers itself to PostCSS under the legitimate plugin's id postcss-minify-selectors, so consumers who mistype or misremember the cssnano plugin name receive a different publisher's package that self-identifies as the real one. On require(), the main entry performs a bare side-effect import of layerd-unit-codec-parser/cjs-runner (return value discarded) before any other work, and replaces the de-facto-standard postcss-selector-parser with layerd-unit-codec-parser/selector-parser (the standard parser is demoted to devDependencies). layerd-unit-codec-parser is an obscure package whose name has no relation to CSS or PostCSS; the /cjs-runner submodule path is shaped specifically to execute code on load. Installing this package silently pulls layerd-unit-codec-parser into the consumer's dependency tree and runs its cjs-runner module on every require of the wrapper.

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

Malicious package
  1. Find it

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for postcss-selector-minify (2 malicious versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging postcss-selector-minify across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    Remove postcss-selector-minify 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If postcss-selector-minify 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 blocks postcss-selector-minify 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.

Frequently asked questions
