Which versions of rony-testing are malicious?

The following npm versions of rony-testing are flagged malicious: 99.9.9. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate rony-testing if I installed it?

rony-testing 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.

I already installed rony-testing — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If rony-testing 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 rony-testing part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — rony-testing is associated with the GHSA-7p38-gfgq-g3f3, IN-MAL-2026-008104 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 rony-testing across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for rony-testing (version 99.9.9).

Immediate action

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

npm uninstall rony-testing

What this malware does

The package's postinstall hook auto-executes index.js on npm install. The script collects the installer's OS username (os.userInfo().username), hostname (os.hostname()), and current working directory, serializes them as JSON, and POSTs the payload to a hardcoded webhook.site endpoint (https://webhook.site/7088d897-5b86-4deb-8d29-5b7a263a49b4). Request errors are silently swallowed to avoid alerting the installer. There is no documented purpose, no consent prompt, and no configuration option — the beacon fires unconditionally on install and transmits installer identity to an attacker-controlled collector.

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.
