server-parketnpm
Advisory published Updated
server-parket is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-6335) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious versions 0.1.0, 3.8.1, 3.9.1…). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in server-parket (npm)
What this malware does
package.json declares postinstall: node test.js, but test.js is not present in the tarball — installation fails with MODULE_NOT_FOUND and no code executes against the installer. The shipped index.js is a one-line stub containing a broken console(...) call (no real functionality). Despite the placeholder content, the package declares axios, form-data, child_process, and os as dependencies — building blocks commonly used for exfiltration scripts — and ships with empty author/description metadata and a 'trial version' message. The current published version causes no installer harm because the referenced payload script is missing, but the shape (stub package + suspicious dep set + lifecycle hook pointing at an unshipped script) is consistent with a placeholder release that could be weaponized in a follow-up version. Routing for human review of maintainer identity and registry context.
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.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for server-parket (5 malicious versions).
If you installed it — respond
server-parket 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 server-parket 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 server-parket-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
