Malicious package

rollup-runtime-polyfill-corenpm

rollup-runtime-polyfill-core is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-6372) that typosquats a legitimate package to trick installs (malicious versions 0.13.7, 0.13.8, 0.13.9…). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall rollup-runtime-polyfill-core

What this malware does

Package name mimics the legitimate rollup-plugin-polyfill-node and copies its source (the repository field in package.json points to FredKSchott/rollup-plugin-polyfill-node). Appended to dist/index.js is a top-level dropper that runs on every require()/import of the package. The dropper decodes base64-encoded strings to assemble the command npm install driftpin --no-save --silent --no-audit --no-fund, spawns it with stdio: 'ignore' and windowsHide: true to suppress output, then on process close performs require('driftpin') and invokes getPlugin()(). The target module name driftpin is also stored as a base64 literal (ZHJpZnRwaW4=). driftpin is not declared in this package's dependencies and is not shipped in the tarball — its content is attacker-controlled and unpinned, so arbitrary code from a separate npm package executes inside the installer's Node process whenever this module is loaded. The combination of name impersonation of a legitimate polyfill, base64 obfuscation of the command and target name, hidden execution flags, and out-of-tree installation of an unrelated package is an unambiguous install/import-time RCE dropper.

Detection & response playbook

Typosquat
  1. Find it

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for rollup-runtime-polyfill-core (4 malicious versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging rollup-runtime-polyfill-core across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    rollup-runtime-polyfill-core is a typosquat — you almost certainly intended a legitimately-named package. Remove rollup-runtime-polyfill-core, install the correct package, and rotate any secrets exposed during the install since post-install scripts may have already run.

  3. Did it already run?

    If rollup-runtime-polyfill-core 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 blocks rollup-runtime-polyfill-core 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.
