Malicious package

streak-metricazbdnpm

streak-metricazbd is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12001) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 1.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall streak-metricazbd

What this malware does

On import of the package, dist/index.mjs runs an IIFE that copies a bundled Linux x86_64 ELF (dist/math-core.bin) to /tmp/sm-engine-runtime/math-core.bin and spawns it via child_process.spawn, framed as 'math-core engine calibration' and wrapped in an error-swallowing try/catch. The dropped binary is a full remote-access implant identifying itself as 'RedShell': it beacons to a hardcoded remote server at 217.60.77.63, accepts commands over that channel to execute arbitrary shell commands via /bin/sh and /bin/bash, provides SOCKS5 proxying and TCP port forwarding, downloads and executes additional ELF/shellcode payloads, installs systemd --user persistence disguised as 'svc-update.service', and exposes /ssh_keys, /creds, /dbfind, /env, /dataextract, and /download commands that harvest installer SSH keys, credentials, and arbitrary files and exfiltrate them in chunks via POST /api/extract-receive. Any host that imports this package hands full remote control and credential access to the operator of 217.60.77.63.

Detection & response playbook

Credential / info stealer
  1. Find it

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for streak-metricazbd (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-metricazbd across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    streak-metricazbd 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If streak-metricazbd 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 blocks streak-metricazbd 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.

Frequently asked questions
