process-live-lognpm
Advisory published Updated
process-live-log is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-13960) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 11.5.2). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in process-live-log (npm)
What this malware does
The default export getPlugin issues an HTTPS request to the hardcoded bare-IP endpoint https://31.97.137.157:45000/icons/107 and passes the returned data.credits field to new Function(...) with require, process, Buffer, and other Node globals injected, then invokes it. Any consumer that imports and calls the default export executes attacker-controlled JavaScript with full Node privileges. Package identity is inconsistent: README describes a live-log utility, package.json.description advertises a 'TypeScript SDK for the Polymarket CLOB API', and keywords are ['react','helper','svg']. A dead setDefaultModule function constructs plausible cdnjs URLs but is never called, while the reachable code path targets the bare IP. Declared dependencies (@primno/dpapi, better-sqlite3, node-machine-id) are consistent with browser-credential-stealer post-exploitation tooling the fetched payload could invoke.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for process-live-log (version 11.5.2).
If you installed it — respond
process-live-log is built to steal secrets, so assume every credential the build or runtime could read is compromised. Remove it from your project and lockfile, then rotate ALL exposed secrets — npm/registry tokens, cloud keys, CI/CD secrets, SSH keys, and any .env values — from a known-clean machine. Audit logs for unauthorized use of those credentials.
Did it already run?
If process-live-log 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 process-live-log-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
