Which versions of test1gg234 are malicious?

The following npm versions of test1gg234 are flagged malicious: 99.99.99. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate test1gg234 if I installed it?

test1gg234 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.

I already installed test1gg234 — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If test1gg234 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 test1gg234 part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — test1gg234 is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-020207 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

What this malware does

The package declares both preinstall and postinstall lifecycle hooks that execute index.js, which issues a plaintext HTTP GET to the hardcoded bare IP 128.199.122.145 with the package name in the query string. The beacon fires unconditionally on npm install, confirming to the operator of that host that the package was resolved and installed on the target machine. The package has no other functionality: an empty description, an inflated version (99.99.99), and a manifest that declares a lookalike dependency requests alongside a duplicate capitalized Dependencies key referencing request — the shape of a dependency-confusion probe rather than a functional library.
