voicemailnpm
voicemail is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12496) that opens a backdoor for remote access (malicious versions 1.0.1, 1.0.2). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in voicemail (npm)
What this malware does
package.json declares both preinstall and postinstall lifecycle scripts that invoke curl against a hardcoded webhook.site endpoint (https://webhook.site/d80b4602-8a87-4693-8510-6ff77c62788e/blots) with query parameters carrying the installer's username ($(whoami)), hostname ($(hostname)), current working directory ($PWD), and a timestamp. The beacon fires automatically on npm install without user consent, sending host and identity reconnaissance to an attacker-controlled collector. The package provides no legitimate functionality corresponding to this network activity.

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 voicemail (2 malicious versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging voicemail across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
voicemail 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 voicemail 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 voicemail 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.
