Malicious package

supplyhubnpm

supplyhub is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-11043) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious versions 1.0.1, 1.0.2). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall supplyhub

What this malware does

The npm package supplyhub is a credential / SSH-key stealer. Its package.json declares a postinstall lifecycle hook (postinstall: node postinstall.js) that executes automatically on npm install, before the package is ever imported.

postinstall.js uses fs.readFileSync to read the user's SSH private key (~/.ssh/id_rsa) and the process environment (/proc/self/environ — where CI/cloud tokens and npm tokens live), and gathers account/host identity via os.userInfo(); it also references /etc/passwd. The collected data is exfiltrated by HTTP POST to a hard-coded webhook.site dead-drop: https://webhook.site/3c9418b3-cacd-403d-b42e-e9e4a9508fe3.

Only version 1.0.2 is malicious: version 1.0.0 (held in the codelake corpus) is clean — the exfiltration code was introduced in the 1.0.2 release (a trust-then-poison pattern). Any workstation or CI runner that installs [email protected] (directly or transitively) hands its SSH key and environment secrets to the operator. Detected and classified independently by codelake Research from the live npm feed on 2026-07-20; not present in OSV or GHSA at the time of reporting (a first-catch).

[email protected] ships a postinstall.js that runs automatically on npm install and collects installer host identifiers (os.hostname(), os.userInfo().username, process.cwd(), pid, platform, arch, node version) along with CI-related environment variables (CI, RENOVATE_VERSION), then transmits them as query parameters to a hardcoded webhook.site endpoint (https://webhook.site/3c9418b3-cacd-403d-b42e-e9e4a9508fe3) using https.get with http and execSync('curl...' || wget...) fallbacks. The package.json description self-labels this as a dependency-confusion PoC targeting the 'Travix supplyhub' name, but the tarball is published to public npm and will execute the install-time beacon against any installer that resolves this name, including unrelated users who typo or whose internal builds dependency-confuse into 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 supplyhub (2 malicious versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging supplyhub across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    supplyhub 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 supplyhub 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 supplyhub 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

No. supplyhub on npm has been identified as a malicious package (versions 1.0.1, 1.0.2 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.
