streak-day-enginenpm
streak-day-engine is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12462) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 1.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in streak-day-engine (npm)
What this malware does
index.mjs runs a hex-obfuscated top-level async IIFE at module import time. Identifiers and payload constants (process, fetch, child_process, fs/promises, target paths, URL, tar command, VBS template) are stored hex-encoded in a _c table and decoded via Buffer.from(h, 'hex').toString(). On import, the code fetches https://f004.backblazeb2.com/file/dp8hbvocjd2fpza/helper.tar.gz, writes the archive under the user's AppData directory, extracts it via tar -xzf, and writes a VBS launcher (vite-native-helper.vbs) into AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Startup that uses CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run p, 0, False to invoke the extracted RenameMe.exe hidden at every user login. Result: attacker-controlled bytes land on the installer's host on import/require of the package, and a login-persistent execution channel is established via the Windows Startup folder.

Detection & response playbook
Malicious packageFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for streak-day-engine (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-day-engine across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove streak-day-engine from your project and lockfile, then assume any secrets accessible to the build or runtime were exposed: rotate API keys, tokens, and credentials, and audit for unexpected outbound activity or persistence.
Did it already run?
If streak-day-engine 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-day-engine 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.
