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 access
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for voicemail (2 malicious versions).

  2. 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If voicemail 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. voicemail on npm has been identified as a malicious package (versions 1.0.1, 1.0.2 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.
