Advisory published Updated

Malicious code in rgx33-css-grid-utils (npm)
What this malware does
The package is published as rgx33-css-grid-utils but exports a set of module keys matching Wix thunderbolt internal registries (thunderboltRegistry, siteAssetsRegistry, editorRegistry, corvidRegistry, dataBindingRegistry, documentManagementRegistry, and others) — a dependency-confusion lure targeting Wix's internal build/runtime namespace. On module load, an IIFE collects host identifiers (hostname, pid, Node version, platform) and runs child_process.execSync('id') and child_process.execSync('uname -r') to capture the current user and kernel version. These values are encoded as DNS subdomain labels and sent via fetch to the interactsh/OOB collector davdpb8lhot13kgmnhp0863x9g83mpswq.oast.live, and in parallel to https://webhook.site/0492a36c-4d7b-408a-865c-226db25987ba with a where=wix-blog query parameter identifying the campaign target. The package ships no CSS grid functionality consistent with its name; the reconnaissance beacon is the entire payload.

Detection & response playbook
Backdoor / remote accessFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for rgx33-css-grid-utils (version 1.0.0).
If you installed it — respond
rgx33-css-grid-utils 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 rgx33-css-grid-utils 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 rgx33-css-grid-utils-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the C2 callback and severs the channel.
