twilio-voice-js-reference-componentsnpm
Advisory published Updated
twilio-voice-js-reference-components is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-6373) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious versions 1.0.1, 1.0.2). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in twilio-voice-js-reference-components (npm)
What this malware does
Package impersonates the Twilio Voice JS SDK namespace and ships a single exfiltration payload. package.json declares "preinstall": "node index.js", causing index.js to run automatically on npm install with no user interaction. index.js requires os/fs/https, collects os.hostname(), os.userInfo(), the user's home directory, DNS server configuration, and reads /etc/passwd and /etc/hosts, then POSTs the collected data over HTTPS to kocxl3uxcqn73ybo0k9e4g6d74d41upj.oastify.com — a Burp Collaborator out-of-band probe subdomain controlled by the attacker. The package contains no real reference components, has empty author/description metadata, and the name closely mimics the legitimate Twilio Voice JS package — a typosquat / dependency-confusion lure aimed at Twilio-related build systems.
Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for twilio-voice-js-reference-components (2 malicious versions).
If you installed it — respond
twilio-voice-js-reference-components 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 twilio-voice-js-reference-components 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 twilio-voice-js-reference-components-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
