test-pkg-pnpmnpm
Malicious code in test-pkg-pnpm (npm) Remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
What this malware does
On npm install, the package's postinstall script (node demo-clean.js) auto-executes two installer-side actions without consent. First, openDemo() platform-branches via execSync to open https://github.com/X3r0Day/BunnyHijack in the installer's default browser and to spawn the OS calculator (calc on Windows, open -a Calculator on macOS, gnome-calculator/kcalc on Linux) — the canonical calc.exe proof of unauthenticated code execution on the installer's host. Second, cleanup() walks every ancestor directory of INIT_CWD, process.cwd(), and the user's home directory, calling fs.rmSync(..., {recursive:true, force:true}) against paths inside each ancestor's node_modules, node_modules/.pnpm, node_modules/.bin/node* shims, ~/.npm/_npx, ~/.bun/install/cache, and tmpdir entries; cleanupPackageJson() then reads each ancestor package.json and rewrites it via fs.writeFileSync after deleting matching entries from dependencies, devDependencies, optionalDependencies, and peerDependencies. The destructive recursive-force-rm operates well outside the package's own directory and reaches the user's home tree, and the spawned-process primitive can be retargeted to any binary in a future release.

Detection & response playbook
Malicious packageFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for test-pkg-pnpm (2 malicious versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging test-pkg-pnpm across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove test-pkg-pnpm from your project and lockfile, then assume any secrets accessible to the build or runtime were exposed: rotate API keys, tokens, and credentials, and audit for unexpected outbound activity or persistence.
Did it already run?
If test-pkg-pnpm 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-pkg-pnpm 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.
