What this malware does

The package 'styled-components-a11y' is part of the PhantomRaven supply chain attack campaign (Wave 2). It uses a Remote Dynamic Dependency (RDD) technique: the published package appears benign but includes a URL-based dependency in package.json pointing to an attacker-controlled C2 server (npm.jpartifacts.com). During npm install, npm automatically fetches a malicious tarball from the C2. The tarball preinstall hook executes a 259-line payload that harvests developer emails from .gitconfig, .npmrc, and environment variables; collects CI/CD tokens from GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, and CircleCI; fingerprints the host system; and exfiltrates all data to http://npm.jpartifacts.com/jpd.php via redundant HTTP GET, POST, and WebSocket channels with no visible terminal output. The campaign was first disclosed by Koi Security in October 2025 (Wave 1) and extended across Waves 2-4 between November 2025 and February 2026.

Any developer or CI/CD system that installed this package should be considered compromised. All secrets, tokens, and credentials accessible from that environment should be rotated immediately from a separate, unaffected machine.

The package styled-components-a11y was found to contain malicious code.

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

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 styled-components-a11y (version 9.9.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging styled-components-a11y across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    styled-components-a11y 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 styled-components-a11y 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 styled-components-a11y 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
