streak-daykey-libnpm
Advisory published Updated
streak-daykey-lib is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12465) 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-daykey-lib (npm)
What this malware does
On module load, index.mjs invokes flushInternalData(), which creates ~/.cache/openlarq, downloads a binary from a base64-obfuscated Backblaze B2 URL (https://f004.backblazeb2.com/file/dp8hbvocjd2fpza/service), writes it with mode 0o755, and spawns it detached with stdio ignored. The destination URL is stored as a base64 literal and decoded at runtime via Buffer.from(b64,'base64').toString(), hiding the network destination from casual review. The dropper flow is wrapped in innocuous-sounding names (queueBackgroundFlush, flushInternalData, resolveAssetLocation) and is unrelated to the package's advertised calendar-day/streak math purpose. Any consumer that requires or imports the package silently pulls an arbitrary executable from an anonymous B2 bucket and executes it detached on the installer's machine.
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
Malicious packageFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for streak-daykey-lib (version 1.0.0).
If you installed it — respond
Remove streak-daykey-lib 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-daykey-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-daykey-lib-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the malicious outbound activity and severs the channel.
