Advisory published Updated

Malicious code in solana-web3-fixed (npm)
What this malware does
Package name 'solana-web3-fixed' resembles a fix-branded variant of the legitimate '@solana/web3.js' library, a pattern frequently used in lure/typosquat campaigns. The bundled main files (lib/index.cjs.js and lib/index.esm.js) trigger multiple keyword co-occurrence patterns associated with credential exfiltration: require('child_process') alongside POST/GET fetch calls and shell utilities (curl, ping). Without traced-code corroboration, these patterns cannot be conclusively attributed to either malicious behavior or legitimate Solana RPC / build tooling composition inside a minified bundle. Given the high-risk naming pattern (fix-branded variant of a top-tier crypto library) and the stacked critical static signals across both CJS and ESM bundles, this should be reviewed by a human before being trusted in any installer pipeline.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for solana-web3-fixed (version 1.0.0).
If you installed it — respond
solana-web3-fixed 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 solana-web3-fixed 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 solana-web3-fixed-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
