Malicious code in vite-plugin-model (npm) Remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
What this malware does
The CJS entrypoint dist/index.js top-level requires bytenode and loads a sibling V8 bytecode blob dist/index.jsc, then injects a hidden Model.resetor() that instantiates a class from that bytecode and immediately calls its queryDBConnect() method on require(). The bytecode contains axios, atob, and node:module internals (_compile, _nodeModulePaths), together with a reversed-base64 literal that decodes to https://c0uxnElubanuzwji03vsfrj.m.pipedream.net — an HTTPS Pipedream webhook. The runtime pattern fetches the webhook response, decodes it, and compiles it as a new Node module, executing attacker-controlled code on the installer's machine as soon as any consumer imports the package. Additional indicators corroborate the hostile intent: the ESM twin dist/index.mjs is clean while only the CJS main is tampered; the package advertises itself as a Vite plugin but the shipped code is an unrelated MobX-style store plus a MySQL-flavored DivbloxDatabaseConnector cover-story class; and dist/index.js pulls in an undeclared 'oubliette' dependency while the bytecode requires an undeclared 'axios', both consistent with attacker scaffolding to complete the exec chain via name-squat or hoist collision.

Detection & response playbook
Malicious packageFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for vite-plugin-model (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 vite-plugin-model across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove vite-plugin-model from your project and lockfile, then assume any secrets accessible to the build or runtime were exposed: rotate API keys, tokens, and credentials, and audit for unexpected outbound activity or persistence.
Did it already run?
If vite-plugin-model 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 vite-plugin-model 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.
