streak-map-cachenpm
streak-map-cache is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-13459) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 1.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in streak-map-cache (npm)
What this malware does
The package advertises itself as a dependency-free day/streak math library, but its main entrypoint (dist/index.mjs) contains a top-level async IIFE that unconditionally chmods 0755 and spawns a bundled Linux ELF at dist/internal/calc-map.bin as a detached child process on every import/require. The JavaScript day-math logic in dist/internal/daymath.mjs is pure JS and never invokes the binary; a placeholder _ensureEngine() simply returns true, and code comments acknowledge the binary is cosmetic. The ELF is a RedShell C2 implant: it beacons to hardcoded C2 217.60.77.63 over plain HTTP, treats received input as shell commands, and implements reverse-shell, SOCKS5 proxy, TCP port-forwarding, memfd_create-based ELF/shellcode download-and-exec from http://217.60.77.63/Others/* and /SC/*, chunked file exfiltration to http://217.60.77.63/api/extract-receive, operator commands for SSH-key/credential/database harvesting (/ssh_keys, /creds, /dbfind, /env, /clipboard, /download, /dataextract), and systemd --user persistence. Cover-story framing (README, log strings, sha256 'integrity gate') labels the binary a 'native math accelerator' to defeat cursory review.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for streak-map-cache (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-map-cache across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
streak-map-cache is built to steal secrets, so assume every credential the build or runtime could read is compromised. Remove it from your project and lockfile, then rotate ALL exposed secrets — npm/registry tokens, cloud keys, CI/CD secrets, SSH keys, and any .env values — from a known-clean machine. Audit logs for unauthorized use of those credentials.
Did it already run?
If streak-map-cache 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-map-cache 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.

O3 blocks streak-map-cache-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
