streak-bucket-libnpm
Advisory published Updated
streak-bucket-lib is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-11035) 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 streak-bucket-lib (npm)
What this malware does
The package advertises pure calendar/streak math but its main entry (index.mjs) schedules an async routine on module import via Promise.resolve().then(setTimeout(_i,0)). That routine dynamically imports fs/path/child_process/https using module names decoded from a _k lookup table through a reverse-then-hex unwrapper (const _d = s => Buffer.from(s.split('').reverse().join(''), 'hex').toString()), HTTP-GETs a remote archive to a hardcoded URL reconstructed from the same table, writes the response bytes to a per-user Windows AppData path, spawns an extractor on the archive, then invokes powershell with a script that constructs a WScript.Shell.lnk shortcut (TargetPath/WorkingDirectory/Save) in the user's Startup folder for persistence across reboots. Every operational string — module names, URL, AppData subpath components, extractor argv, and the powershell payload — is stored obfuscated in _k and only decoded at runtime. The behavior fires on any import 'streak-bucket-lib' with no lifecycle hook required. The declared calendar-math purpose has no need for network I/O, filesystem writes under AppData, child process execution, or powershell-authored startup shortcuts; the obfuscated destination table and dropper-plus-persistence shape identify this as a Windows stealer scaffold rather than a library.
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 streak-bucket-lib (version 1.0.0).
If you installed it — respond
streak-bucket-lib 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 streak-bucket-lib 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 streak-bucket-lib-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
