streak-daykitnpm
streak-daykit is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12466) that typosquats a legitimate package to trick installs (malicious version 1.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in streak-daykit (npm)
What this malware does
On import of the package's main entry, a top-level _bootstrap IIFE in index.mjs runs a Linux-gated routine that detects a WSL environment by probing /mnt/c, locates the active Windows user profile via NTUSER.DAT, fetches an executable from a hex-obfuscated URL that decodes to a backlazeb2.com host (a typosquat of Backblaze B2's backblazeb2.com), and writes the payload as vite-native-helper.exe into AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Startup on the host Windows account, establishing user-level autostart persistence. The remote URL, destination path, and dropped filename are all stored as split hex arrays joined at runtime and decoded via Buffer.from(h, 'hex').toString(), and surrounding comments frame the code as environment bootstrap and telemetry routing. No version pin, hash check, or publisher-matching source is present; the fetched binary is opaque attacker-controlled content executed on next Windows sign-in.

Detection & response playbook
TyposquatFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for streak-daykit (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-daykit across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
streak-daykit is a typosquat — you almost certainly intended a legitimately-named package. Remove streak-daykit, install the correct package, and rotate any secrets exposed during the install since post-install scripts may have already run.
Did it already run?
If streak-daykit 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-daykit 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.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks streak-daykit-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.
