Which versions of text-line-parser are malicious?

The following npm versions of text-line-parser are flagged malicious: 1.0.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate text-line-parser if I installed it?

text-line-parser 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.

I already installed text-line-parser — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If text-line-parser 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 text-line-parser part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — text-line-parser is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-010924 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

How do I find text-line-parser across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for text-line-parser (version 1.0.0).

Advisory published Jul 28, 2026Updated Jul 28, 2026

text-line-parser is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-11151) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 1.0.0). 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 text-line-parser

What this malware does

The package advertises itself as a text/line parsing utility, but its shipped index.js contains only unrelated color-conversion stubs (hexToRgb/rgbToHsl). On npm install, postinstall.js executes a shell pipeline that collects hostname, user, cwd, uname, /proc/1/cgroup, /.dockerenv, the process tree, local IP addresses, /etc/resolv.conf nameservers, and probes Tencent Cloud and AWS IMDS cloud-metadata endpoints. It then dumps the full process environment (filtering only npm_* noise, so CI tokens, cloud credentials, and API keys are captured) together with GitHub Actions identifiers (GITHUB_REPOSITORY, GITHUB_ACTOR, GITHUB_RUN_ID, CI, RUNNER_NAME), base64-encodes the payload, and sends it via HTTP to the hardcoded Burp Collaborator subdomain pzs5w7ntzhsnepwk564lyfdci3oucl0a.oastify.com. The declared package purpose does not require any of this behavior; the mismatch between the advertised text-parsing role and the shipped reconnaissance/exfiltration code is consistent with a typosquat/decoy supply-chain attack.
