test1gg234npm
test1gg234 is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-16313) 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 test1gg234 (npm)
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.

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 test1gg234 (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 test1gg234 across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
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.
Did it already run?
If test1gg234 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 test1gg234 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.
