rony-testnpm
Advisory published Updated
rony-test is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-7001) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 99.9.9). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in rony-test (npm)
What this malware does
The package's main entry (index.js) collects installer identity data — os.userInfo().username, process.env.INIT_CWD || process.cwd(), and os.hostname() — and POSTs the JSON body to a hardcoded webhook.site endpoint (https://webhook.site/7088d897-5b86-4deb-8d29-5b7a263a49b4) at module load time via require('https'). Any consumer that requires or imports this package leaks host and user identifiers to an author-controlled third-party sink with no consent and no documented purpose (package description is 'Researching'). A postinstall entry ('node indes.js') references a non-existent file and would fail with MODULE_NOT_FOUND, so the install-time trigger is broken, but the load-time exfiltration via the main module is functional.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for rony-test (version 99.9.9).
If you installed it — respond
rony-test 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 rony-test 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 rony-test-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
