Malicious package

streak-view-corenpm

Advisory published Updated

streak-view-core is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12471) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 1.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

Malicious code in streak-view-core (npm)

MAL-2026-12471
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall streak-view-core

What this malware does

index.mjs contains an indexCache array of base64 string chunks whose decoded bytes begin with the ELF magic and reference /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2. At module load time, a top-level call to maintainLocalIndex() joins and base64-decodes the array, writes the resulting Linux ELF binary to a temp path, and executes it via child_process.spawn. Any consumer that imports streak-view-core runs this native binary on their host. The package presents itself as a dependency-free calendar-day/streak math utility, which does not justify shipping or self-executing a native ELF, and the payload is fragmented across many string literals to obscure the ELF header from casual review.

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

Malicious package
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for streak-view-core (version 1.0.0).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    Remove streak-view-core 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-view-core 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-view-core 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.

Detect & block this

O3 blocks streak-view-core-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the malicious outbound activity and severs the channel.
