Malicious package

streak-lib-mathnpm

Advisory published Updated

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)

MAL-2026-11036
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall streak-lib-math

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

Typosquat
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for streak-lib-math (version 1.0.0).

  2. 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If streak-lib-math 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.

Frequently asked questions

No. streak-lib-math on npm has been identified as a malicious package (version 1.0.0 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.
