react-context-form-tdsssnpm
react-context-form-tdsss is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-6512) that opens a backdoor for remote access (malicious version 9.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in react-context-form-tdsss (npm)
What this malware does
[email protected] is a dependency-confusion payload. package.json declares scripts.preinstall="node index.js", and index.js issues an HTTPS GET to a hardcoded interactsh/OAST subdomain (d8v0o1a9io6mjndcpbgghpfmkcgcm6dno.oast.online/npm-installed) on install. This beacon discloses the installer's public IP and confirms code execution on the installer's host to the operator of the OAST listener. The package.json description self-identifies as a dependency-confusion PoC and declares a self-dependency, the shape used to squat an internal/private package name on the public registry so that resolution in a victim environment pulls and executes this code. Installing this package causes outbound network beaconing on the installer's machine without consent.
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.
The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'react-context-form-tdsss' @ 9.0.0 (npm) as malicious.
It is considered malicious because:
- The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity.

Detection & response playbook
Backdoor / remote accessFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for react-context-form-tdsss (version 9.0.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging react-context-form-tdsss across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
react-context-form-tdsss establishes remote access, so treat any host that installed it as fully compromised. Isolate the machine, remove the package, rotate all credentials it could reach, and rebuild from a trusted image rather than cleaning in place — a backdoor may have planted additional persistence.
Did it already run?
If react-context-form-tdsss 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 react-context-form-tdsss 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.
