react-video-canvasnpm
Advisory published Updated
react-video-canvas is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-3189) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 9999.9999.10000). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in react-video-canvas (npm)
What this malware does
Dependency confusion and typosquatting campaign by threat actor "saif777". Packages use inflated version numbers (9999.9999.9999, 9999.9999.10000, 50.50.50, 7.66.5) to win version resolution in environments with private registries. All active packages execute a postinstall hook ("node index.js") that collects a system fingerprint — public IP (via api.ipify.org), username, hostname, CPU model, RAM, working directory, OS platform — and exfiltrates it as a Discord embed to a shared webhook (base64-obfuscated in source). Payloads include sandbox/bot detection: machines with ≤1 CPU or <2 GB RAM are flagged as sandbox/CI; real machines trigger a green embed. Typosquats the react-video-canvas package.
The package react-video-canvas was found to contain malicious code.
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-video-canvas' @ 9999.9999.10000 (npm) as malicious.
It is considered malicious because:
- The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for react-video-canvas (version 9999.9999.10000).
If you installed it — respond
react-video-canvas 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 react-video-canvas 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 react-video-canvas-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
