tiny-css-token-parsernpm
Advisory published Updated
tiny-css-token-parser is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-17525) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 1.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in tiny-css-token-parser (npm)
What this malware does
Package is advertised as a CSS token parser but ships thunderboltRegistry.js which runs an IIFE on module load that collects hostname, pid, Node version, platform, and the output of id and uname -r via child_process.execSync, then exfiltrates them as DNS/HTTP subdomains under an oast.live interact.sh collector and a POST to webhook.site/0492a36c-4d7b-408a-865c-226db25987ba with a where=internetbrands tag. The package manifest aliases seven internal Wix Thunderbolt registry module names (thunderboltRegistry, siteAssetsRegistry, documentManagementRegistry, editorRegistry, corvidRegistry, and others) to the same recon module and exports factories under those keys, so any loader that resolves those internal names to this public package will execute the recon payload. The name/description are a cover story; the actual behavior is targeted dependency-confusion reconnaissance against Wix's internetbrands build graph.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for tiny-css-token-parser (version 1.0.0).
If you installed it — respond
tiny-css-token-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.
Did it already run?
If tiny-css-token-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.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks tiny-css-token-parser-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
