streak-key-libnpm
streak-key-lib is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-14223) 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-key-lib (npm)
What this malware does
index.mjs advertises itself as a dependency-free, browser-safe day-math helper that 'touches no network and no filesystem,' but the file body contains a ~65KB obfuscator.io-style block (base64 string array plus an RC4/XOR decoder function A(L,q), with self-defense regexes designed to break under beautification/debugging) sitting at module top level directly above the small plain math exports. There are no lifecycle scripts; the payload executes on any require/import of the package. The header comment steers consumers to install a companion package (svelte-insight-hydration / svelte-insight-tracker) rather than this one directly, framing streak-key-lib as an internal helper meant to arrive transitively — a lure pattern that places hidden import-time code into parent applications' Node processes. The file header name (streak-larq-hydration) does not match the package name, indicating a rename from a template. The mismatch between the stated purpose (pure math, no I/O) and the shipped contents (large encrypted top-level blob with an RC4 string decoder) is the standard shape of a supply-chain stager: benign-looking surface code alongside hidden import-time execution of decoded strings.

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-key-lib (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-key-lib across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove streak-key-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-key-lib 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-key-lib 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.
