Which versions of test-dev-config are malicious?

The following npm versions of test-dev-config are flagged malicious: 0.1.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate test-dev-config if I installed it?

test-dev-config 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.

I already installed test-dev-config — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If test-dev-config 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.

Is test-dev-config part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — test-dev-config is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-015837 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

How do I find test-dev-config across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for test-dev-config (version 0.1.0).

What this malware does

src/config.js hardcodes a remote host as the English-word phrase "Four Five P Nine Five P One Eight Six P Two Three Seven" and decodes it at import time via a textToIp() helper to the IPv4 address 45.95.186.237, then exports SOCKET_SERVER_HOST (port 8008) and DJANGO_API_URL (http://45.95.186.237:8000). The word-to-digit encoding serves solely to hide the destination from string and URL scanners. src/constants.js enumerates Chromium, Chrome, Brave, Edge, Opera, and Vivaldi User Data directories under %LOCALAPPDATA%/%APPDATA%, along with Local Storage, leveldb, Local Extension Settings, and Sync Extension Settings paths, the LastPass Chrome extension ID (hdokiejnpimakedhajhdlcegeplioahd), and a KEYLOGGER_DIR ("Results") with a KEYLOGGER_LOG_FILE ("events.log"). The package is the shared configuration layer of a browser-credential-stealer and keylogger toolkit: any consumer importing it inherits the C2 endpoint and the browser-secret target-path list.
