router-processornpm
Advisory published Updated
router-processor is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-10453) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 1.5.2). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in router-processor (npm)
What this malware does
[email protected] exposes a getPlugin function that assembles the URL https://svganchordev.net/icons/107 from split constants (protocol, separator, domain, path), fetches a JSON response, and passes the credits field to new Function(...) which is then invoked with a context object exposing require, process, Buffer, and other Node.js internals. This executes arbitrary attacker-controlled JavaScript with full Node privileges in the caller's process. The package declares dependencies on DPAPI bindings (Windows credential decryption), better-sqlite3, and node-machine-id, which are consistent with an infostealer loader capable of decrypting browser credential stores. The package's identity is inconsistent: package.json describes a router processor while the README advertises a Polymarket SDK, and neither matches the observed behavior of fetching remote code from an SVG-themed cover-story domain. The URL split-construction and the misleading credits/getPlugin naming are deliberate evasion of casual review.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for router-processor (version 1.5.2).
If you installed it — respond
router-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.
Did it already run?
If router-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.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks router-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.
