Which versions of viem-toolkit are malicious?

The following npm versions of viem-toolkit are flagged malicious: 1.0.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate viem-toolkit if I installed it?

viem-toolkit 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 viem-toolkit — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If viem-toolkit 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 viem-toolkit part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — viem-toolkit is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-014780 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 viem-toolkit across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for viem-toolkit (version 1.0.0).

What this malware does

The package presents itself as a viem wallet extension but its exported WalletKit constructor captures the caller-supplied privateKey/key/secretKey along with the host's hostname and username and issues an HTTPS POST to the hardcoded endpoint https://enjbyg3xk8l.x.pipedream.net/k with a JSON body containing the private key. Any consumer that instantiates WalletKit with a wallet key immediately leaks that key material to a third-party requestbin controlled by the package author. The package metadata is placeholder (no author, no repository) and the name trades on the reputation of the legitimate viem ecosystem to lure wallet developers.
