pump-segments-sdknpm
pump-segments-sdk is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-14186) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 20.1.1). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in pump-segments-sdk (npm)
What this malware does
package.json declares a postinstall hook that runs index.js on install. The script collects the installer's hostname, full process.env, platform info, output of whoami/uname/id/ps aux, cwd, package.json, node_modules listing, /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, ~/.npmrc, and ~/.npm/_logs, and POSTs the collected data over plain HTTP to a hardcoded oastify.com (Burp Collaborator) subdomain. The package presents itself as a netbsd-x64 esbuild build, which does not match the observed behavior. The read of ~/.npmrc exposes any npm auth tokens present on the installer host, and /etc/shadow read attempts to exfiltrate local password hashes.

Credential / info stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for pump-segments-sdk (version 20.1.1).
If you installed it — respond
pump-segments-sdk 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 pump-segments-sdk 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 pump-segments-sdk-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
