shoplist-appnpm
Advisory published Updated
shoplist-app is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-17185) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious versions 99.99.99, 993.99.99). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in shoplist-app (npm)
What this malware does
[email protected] is a dependency-confusion / typosquat beacon. preinstall.js is wired into every lifecycle hook (preinstall, install, postinstall, prepare, prepublish) and issues an HTTPS GET to the hardcoded endpoint https://eo8f3m3ho26a0nm.m.pipedream.net/, transmitting the installer's machine hostname via os.hostname() (smuggled into a host HTTP header) together with package identity in the query string. index.js — the package main — independently fires a second HTTPS GET to the same Pipedream collector at require/import time, carrying os.platform() and a trigger=runtime marker. The package ships no functional code beyond these beacons; its version (99.99.99) and description ("test") are consistent with a name-squat probe designed to identify which internal build hosts resolve the name shoplist-app. The exfiltrated data (hostname, OS platform, package-name confirmation) gives the operator of the Pipedream endpoint a map of environments where a shoplist-app dependency reference successfully resolves to this public package — the standard reconnaissance stage of a dependency-confusion attack.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for shoplist-app (2 malicious versions).
If you installed it — respond
shoplist-app 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 shoplist-app 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 shoplist-app-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
