Malicious package

thunder-ronynpm

Malicious code in thunder-rony (npm) Remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

MAL-2026-7004
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall thunder-rony

What this malware does

On npm install, the package's postinstall hook executes index.js, which collects the installer's OS username (os.userInfo().username), hostname (os.hostname()), non-internal IPv4 address from os.networkInterfaces(), and the working directory (INIT_CWD / cwd), and POSTs them via https.request to a hardcoded webhook.site capture URL (https://webhook.site/742b2c61-b48c-4540-9963-a33713dedaf1). No functional code accompanies the beacon; package metadata is empty (description/author/keywords) and the version is an implausible 99.9.9, consistent with a dependency-confusion or reconnaissance-squat probe. Installing the package causes automatic, non-consensual exfiltration of installer identity and environment data to an attacker-controlled endpoint.

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 thunder-rony (version 99.9.9). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging thunder-rony across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    thunder-rony 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 thunder-rony 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 thunder-rony 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

O3 blocks thunder-rony-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
