test1df23npm
test1df23 is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-16312) that opens a backdoor for remote access (malicious version 99.99.99). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in test1df23 (npm)
What this malware does
package.json declares preinstall and postinstall hooks that execute index.js on npm install. index.js issues an HTTP GET to the hardcoded bare IP 128.199.122.145 over plain HTTP, with the package name embedded in the query string (http://128.199.122.145/?test1df23). The beacon fires automatically at install time, leaking the installer's outbound IP and confirming successful execution on the installer's host to the operator of that IP. The package name and near-empty payload are consistent with a dependency-confusion or typosquat probe.

Detection & response playbook
Backdoor / remote accessFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for test1df23 (version 99.99.99). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging test1df23 across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
test1df23 establishes remote access, so treat any host that installed it as fully compromised. Isolate the machine, remove the package, rotate all credentials it could reach, and rebuild from a trusted image rather than cleaning in place — a backdoor may have planted additional persistence.
Did it already run?
If test1df23 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 test1df23 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.
