wagmi-reactnpm
Advisory published Updated
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
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for wagmi-react (version 1.0.0).
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 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.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks wagmi-react-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
