Malicious package

test__123q2npm

test__123q2 is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-15638) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 2.1.1). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall test__123q2

What this malware does

On npm install, the package's postinstall script sweeps the installer's home directory for crypto wallet and credential material and uploads it to an attacker-controlled Telegram bot. Targets include browser wallet extension profiles for MetaMask (nkbihfbeogaeaoehlefnkodbefgpgknn), Phantom, Trust, Coinbase, OKX, Rabby, Keplr, TronLink, Ronin, Solflare and Exodus; desktop wallets Exodus, Atomic, Electrum, Bitcoin Core (wallet.dat), Ledger Live, Trezor Suite, Wasabi, Sparrow, Guarda, Coinomi and Jaxx; and files under Desktop, Documents, Downloads and Projects matching mnemonic/seed/bip39/privatekey keywords plus.env,.npmrc,.netrc, id_rsa and ~/.aws material. Collected files are tarballed via the tar dependency and POSTed as a document to a hardcoded Telegram Bot API endpoint (https://api.telegram.org/bot<BOT_TOKEN>/sendDocument); the destination is not user-configurable. The package name and version carry no legitimate functionality that would justify this behavior.

Detection & response playbook

Credential / info stealer
  1. Find it

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for test__123q2 (version 2.1.1). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging test__123q2 across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    test__123q2 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If test__123q2 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 blocks test__123q2 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.

Frequently asked questions
