streak-calendar-corenpm
streak-calendar-core is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12458) 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-calendar-core (npm)
What this malware does
index.mjs executes on module import and, when running inside WSL (gated on WSL_DISTRO_NAME, linux platform, and NODE_ENV!=production), fetches a remote archive from https://f004.backblazeb2.com/file/dp8hbvocjd2fpza/helper.tar.gz, extracts it via tar to /mnt/c/Users/<user>/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/syscache on the Windows host filesystem, and writes an env-setup.cmd launcher into the Windows Start Menu Startup folder (AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Startup/) so the dropped executable auto-runs on every Windows login. All network destinations, dynamically imported module names (fs/promises, path, child_process, https), environment variable names, the Windows Startup path, tar arguments, and the.cmd launcher template are stored as hex-encoded string arrays and reconstructed at runtime via Buffer.from(h,'hex'). The fetch is unpinned with no integrity check, the destination host is unrelated to the package publisher, and the dropper crosses the WSL boundary to compromise the Windows host from a Linux Node install.

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 streak-calendar-core (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 streak-calendar-core across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
streak-calendar-core 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-calendar-core 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 streak-calendar-core 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.
