Malicious package

velora-kitnpm

Advisory published Updated

velora-kit is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-13961) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious versions 12.0.2, 12.1.2). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

Malicious code in velora-kit (npm)

MAL-2026-13961
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall velora-kit

What this malware does

[email protected] exports a getPlugin() function that fetches content from a hardcoded bare-IP endpoint at https://31.97.137.157:45000/icons/116 and passes the response's data.credits field to new Function(...), which is then invoked with require, module, process, Buffer, and Promise injected — executing attacker-controlled JavaScript with full Node.js privileges in the consumer's process. Variable naming (protocol/domain/path split, bearrtoken: 'logo', token: '116') is styled to resemble a CDN icon fetcher while actually constructing a URL to a bare-IP host and evaluating the returned payload as code. The declared dependency set (@primno/dpapi for Windows DPAPI decryption, better-sqlite3/sqlite3 for browser-profile database reads, node-machine-id, socket.io-client, request, axios) provides the fetched second-stage code with capabilities aligned to credential and wallet theft from local browser profiles.

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.

Detection & response playbook

Credential / info stealer
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for velora-kit (2 malicious versions).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    velora-kit 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If velora-kit 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

No. velora-kit on npm has been identified as a malicious package (versions 12.0.2, 12.1.2 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.

Detect & block this

O3 blocks velora-kit-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
