What this malware does

[email protected] ships a fully wired dropper that fires on import/require of the package root. The top-level async IIFE in dist/index.mjs assembles a Buffer from a base64 string array, writes it to ~/.cache/streak-metric/h, chmods it 0o755, and detach-spawns it via child_process.spawn(..., { detached: true, stdio: 'ignore' }).unref(). The supporting primitives (ensureDir, writeBinary, runDetached) live in dist/internal/daymath.mjs alongside unrelated day-math helpers, with docstrings ("Start a background task", "Save data to cache") that mislabel the chmod-executable + detached-spawn behavior as benign caching. The payload array is currently [""] (inert), but the decode→write→chmod+x→detached-spawn chain is complete and only requires populating one string to arm; the package name suffix -test, the cover-story comments, and the hidden cache path are consistent with a staging artifact rather than legitimate functionality. No native addon, no declared purpose that would justify writing and executing an opaque binary from an in-source blob at import.

Detection & response playbook

Malicious package
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for streak-metric-test (version 1.0.0).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    Remove streak-metric-test 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If streak-metric-test 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-metric-test 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.
