typescrip-clinpm
typescrip-cli is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-14150) that opens a backdoor for remote access (malicious version 1.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in typescrip-cli (npm)
What this malware does
Package name 'typescrip-cli' typosquats 'typescript-cli'; index.js exports an empty object and the package has no library functionality. scripts/postinstall.js hides its network destinations and command lines inside four numeric byte arrays that are XOR-decoded at runtime with the key 'stf2026'. The decoded URL is https://github.com/bebra1/qPzM50V1AKG0rVlH/releases/download/null/main.exe (an unrelated personal GitHub account, mutable 'null' release tag). On Windows the script downloads that executable to %TEMP%\main.exe and spawns it detached. On WSL/virtualized Linux it decodes a PowerShell launcher and bridge script and passes the concatenated command to child_process.exec with windowsHide:true, running the same payload on the Windows host across the WSL boundary. In parallel, postinstall POSTs a JSON body identifying the host platform to a hardcoded bare-IP beacon at http://193.70.34.101:20099/vote, with the host string reassembled from a split array ['193','70','34','101'].join('.') to avoid literal-string detection.

Detection & response playbook
Backdoor / remote accessFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for typescrip-cli (version 1.0.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging typescrip-cli across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
typescrip-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.
Did it already run?
If typescrip-cli 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.
How O3 protects you
O3 blocks typescrip-cli 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.
