Which versions of react-puller are malicious?

The following npm versions of react-puller are flagged malicious: 1.0.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate react-puller if I installed it?

Remove react-puller 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.

I already installed react-puller — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If react-puller 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.

Is react-puller part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — react-puller is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-010939 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

How do I find react-puller across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for react-puller (version 1.0.0).

Immediate action

Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.

npm uninstall react-puller

What this malware does

The package's postinstall hook runs node index.js, which spawns a detached worker that downloads two Windows executables (CDPUserPlatform.exe and DOContentCacheMgr.exe) from a hardcoded bare-IP endpoint at http://64.49.11.161:8000 over plain HTTP, writes them into ~/.react-pul, and launches them via cmd /c start. The addToStartup routine then writes an HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run entry pointing at ~/.react-pul/DOContentCacheMgr.exe, autostarting the dropped binary on every user login. The package name and description present it as a generic React utility, unrelated to the shipped behavior.
