Which versions of token-prices-cron are malicious?

The following npm versions of token-prices-cron are flagged malicious: 999.0.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate token-prices-cron if I installed it?

token-prices-cron 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 token-prices-cron — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If token-prices-cron 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 token-prices-cron part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — token-prices-cron is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-006488, RLMA-2026-05634, RLUA-2026-06523 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 token-prices-cron across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for token-prices-cron (version 999.0.0).

Immediate action

Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.

npm uninstall token-prices-cron

What this malware does

On npm install, the preinstall lifecycle script in postinstall.js enumerates process.env, filters keys matching a broad credential regex (key|secret|token|pass|private|ssh|deploy|auth|api|rpc|wallet|sentry|docker|graph|slack|host), and bundles them with hostname, username, cwd, and npm registry/prefix metadata. The collected payload is POSTed over the network to a hardcoded bare IP at 185.130.46.35:8443 — no domain, no TLS verification context, no documented purpose. The package itself is a hollow shell: index.js is module.exports = {}, the description is 'Internal package', and the version is 999.0.0 — the canonical dependency-confusion shape designed to win resolution against a private-registry package of the same name and trigger the credential harvester on corporate build machines. A source comment confirms intent ('Exfil CI environment variables on install').
