vite-svg-parsenpm
vite-svg-parse is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-13464) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 1.1.3). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in vite-svg-parse (npm)
What this malware does
The package's exported API (getPlugin/setPlugin) decodes two base64 string literals at runtime: the first decodes to npm install node-internal-svg-loader --no-save --silent --no-audit --no-fund, which is passed to child_process.spawn; the second decodes to the module name node-internal-svg-loader, which is then require()'d and whose getPlugin()/setPlugin() are invoked. The fetched package is not declared in package.json dependencies, and both the shell command and the require target are concealed in base64 to evade static inspection. Any consumer that imports this library and calls its documented API causes an undeclared, hidden third-party npm package to be installed and its code executed in the installer's Node.js process.

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-svg-parse (version 1.1.3). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging vite-svg-parse across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove vite-svg-parse 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-svg-parse 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-svg-parse 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.
