streak-test-mathcorenpm
Advisory published Updated
streak-test-mathcore is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12003) 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-test-mathcore (npm)
What this malware does
Package main dist/index.mjs runs a top-level IIFE that spawns dist/math-core.bin via child_process.spawn on any import of the package. The bundled ELF is a remote-access implant that beacons to a hardcoded C2 at 217.60.77.63, accepts remote commands to execute shell, download and run ELF binaries and shellcode from http://217.60.77.63/Others/ and /SC/ endpoints (memfd/tmp chmod+x staging), enumerates and uploads host files including SSH keys, credentials, database contents, and clipboard via chunked POST /api/extract-receive, and installs user-level persistence by writing ~/.config/systemd/user/svc-update.service (labeled 'System Update Service') and running systemctl --user daemon-reload and enable --now. The JS wrapper describes the binary as a 'HIGH-PERFORMANCE MATH ENGINE LOADER' and wraps the spawn in a sham calibration loop; the README advertises dependency-free streak math, unrelated to the shipped binary.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for streak-test-mathcore (version 1.0.0).
If you installed it — respond
streak-test-mathcore 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-test-mathcore 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.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks streak-test-mathcore-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
