sys-info-cli-appnpm
sys-info-cli-app is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-5764) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious versions 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.0.9). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in sys-info-cli-app (npm)
What this malware does
The package's collect.js gathers host identifiers (os.hostname(), os.homedir()) along with filesystem and child_process introspection and POSTs them to a hardcoded external endpoint at http://aab.sportsontheweb.net. The destination is unrelated to any legitimate npm distribution infrastructure and the data flow has no documented purpose tied to the package's stated function. The combination of os/child_process/fs reads with an outbound POST to an attacker-controlled domain is the canonical host-reconnaissance / exfiltration shape. Installing or loading this package causes installer host metadata to be sent off-host to a third-party server.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for sys-info-cli-app (3 malicious versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging sys-info-cli-app across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
sys-info-cli-app 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 sys-info-cli-app 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.
How O3 protects you
O3 blocks sys-info-cli-app 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.
