testosu8887npm
testosu8887 is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-17299) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 1.0.1). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in testosu8887 (npm)
What this malware does
On require or CLI invocation, dist/index.cjs and dist/cli.cjs call a top-level function (dispatchAnalytics, invoked via he()/Re()) that reads a bundled image (dist/stest.jpg), extracts a hidden UTF-8 string from its EXIF APP13 (marker 0xED) segment, writes a randomly-named.vbs file to the OS temp directory, and spawns wscript.exe detached with windowsHide:true to run it. The VBS launches powershell.exe with an -EncodedCommand argument sourced from the image; the decoded PowerShell downloads https://m1.ppy.sh/r/osu!install.exe to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Temp\lahost.exe and executes it via Start-Process. Sensitive tokens are assembled at runtime from array joins (["power","shell",".exe"].join(""), ["wscript",".exe"].join(""), split -NoProfile/-NonInteractive/-EncodedCommand fragments) and the payload body is hidden in JPEG EXIF rather than present as source strings, concealing the behavior from static scanners. The package name suggests a test/typosquat targeting the osu! game community.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for testosu8887 (version 1.0.1). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging testosu8887 across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
testosu8887 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.
Did it already run?
If testosu8887 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 testosu8887 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.
