streak-lib-mathnpm
streak-lib-math is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-11036) 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-lib-math (npm)
What this malware does
On import, index.mjs executes an obfuscated async IIFE whose sensitive strings (process, fetch, fs/promises, target URL, path segments, payload filename) are stored as hex literals and reassembled at runtime. The code enumerates Windows user profiles reached from WSL via /mnt/c/Users, skipping default accounts (All Users, Default, Public, defaultuser0), fetches https://f004.backblazeb2.com/file/dp8hbvocjd2fpza/helper.dat, and writes the response bytes as vite-native-helper.exe into each targeted user's AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Startup directory. The binary then runs on every subsequent Windows login, providing persistent code execution on the developer host independent of Node or npm. The filename (vite-native-helper.exe) is a cover-story mimicking a Vite build helper; the package name suggests an unrelated math utility.
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
TyposquatFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for streak-lib-math (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-lib-math across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
streak-lib-math is a typosquat — you almost certainly intended a legitimately-named package. Remove streak-lib-math, 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-lib-math 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-lib-math 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.
