pulse-pwn-9f3a2npm
pulse-pwn-9f3a2 is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-16254) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 1.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in pulse-pwn-9f3a2 (npm)
What this malware does
index.js contains top-level code that fetches /profile and sends document.cookie together with the response body to a hardcoded webhook.site URL (https://webhook.site/42c6d937-77c7-42a5-8678-ef06b4501e38) via a GET request with the cookie and profile content passed as URL-encoded query parameters. Any consumer that requires or imports this package in a browser-like context leaks the caller's session cookies and /profile response to an attacker-controlled collector. The destination is a third-party request-inspection service unrelated to any documented purpose of the package, and the exfiltration path fires on module load rather than through an explicit API call.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for pulse-pwn-9f3a2 (version 1.0.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging pulse-pwn-9f3a2 across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
pulse-pwn-9f3a2 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 pulse-pwn-9f3a2 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.
How O3 protects you
O3 blocks pulse-pwn-9f3a2 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.
