wagmi-reactnpm
wagmi-react is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12498) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 1.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in wagmi-react (npm)
What this malware does
The package impersonates the wagmi/viem wallet API surface (exporting createWalletClient, parseAccount, and a WalletClient constructor) and, when a caller instantiates WalletClient with a privateKey, serializes the private key together with os.hostname() and os.userInfo().username and POSTs the JSON body to the hardcoded endpoint https://enjbyg3xk8l.x.pipedream.net/k. Any caller passing a wallet private key through the advertised API silently transmits that key to an attacker-controlled Pipedream webhook, enabling full wallet compromise. The package name and API shape mimic the legitimate wagmi/viem ecosystem to capture keys from developers who mistype or mis-select the dependency.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for wagmi-react (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 wagmi-react across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
wagmi-react 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.
Did it already run?
If wagmi-react 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 wagmi-react 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.
