Which versions of route-processor are malicious?

The following npm versions of route-processor are flagged malicious: 3.1.5. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate route-processor if I installed it?

route-processor 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.

I already installed route-processor — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If route-processor 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 route-processor part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — route-processor is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-010300, GHSA-8mrq-4593-6x5p 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 route-processor across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for route-processor (version 3.1.5).

Malicious package

Advisory published Jul 13, 2026Updated Jul 28, 2026

route-processor is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-10483) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 3.1.5). 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 route-processor

What this malware does

The package's default export builds a URL from split constants (protocol/separator/domain/path/token resolving to https://svganchordev.net/icons/107), fetches JSON from that host, and passes the response field data.credits directly to new Function(...) which is then invoked with a require-capable evalContext. Any consumer calling the default export executes arbitrary JavaScript delivered live by svganchordev.net with full Node capabilities (require, process, Buffer, cwd). The URL is deliberately reassembled from separate string constants rather than written as a literal, concealing the endpoint from casual inspection. The package advertises itself as a React helper for HTTPS route processing and SVG generation, but declares runtime dependencies on @primno/dpapi (Windows DPAPI decryption used to unwrap Chrome/Edge-protected secrets), better-sqlite3 and sqlite3 (used to read browser Login Data / Cookies databases), and node-machine-id (host fingerprinting). These dependencies have no role in the advertised functionality; they are the primitives the remotely-fetched code loads via require to harvest browser-stored credentials from the installer's machine.

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.

Detect & block this

O3 blocks route-processor-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
