What this malware does

tyepescript-cli is a typosquat of typescript. Its scripts/postinstall.js XOR-decodes (key stf2026) a set of obfuscated byte arrays that resolve to an attacker-controlled URL, a PowerShell bridge command, and script fragments. On Windows, the postinstall downloads main.exe from github.com/bebrazi/qPbM50V1AKG0rVlH/releases/download/null/main.exe to %TEMP%\main.exe and spawns it detached. Under WSL, it decodes a powershell.exe bridge command and execs it via child_process.exec with windowsHide: true to fetch and run the same binary on the Windows host from the Linux install context. Before the drop, the script POSTs a JSON body with a host label to a hardcoded numeric IP http://193.70.34.101:20099/vote (host built by joining the array ['193','70','34','101'] to hide the literal) as an install-time beacon. The mutable releases/download/null/ path on an anonymous personal GitHub account (bebrazi) is unrelated to any legitimate typescript publisher, and the XOR obfuscation of URLs and commands has no benign purpose in an npm install script.

Detection & response playbook

Backdoor / remote access
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for tyepescript-cli (version 1.0.0).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    tyepescript-cli establishes remote access, so treat any host that installed it as fully compromised. Isolate the machine, remove the package, rotate all credentials it could reach, and rebuild from a trusted image rather than cleaning in place — a backdoor may have planted additional persistence.

  3. Did it already run?

    If tyepescript-cli 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.

Frequently asked questions
