walmart-shared-modulesnpm
Malicious code in walmart-shared-modules (npm) Remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
What this malware does
Package declares preinstall: node poc.js, which on npm install collects host identity (os.hostname, whoami/id, ipconfig/ip a output), scrapes environment variables matching credential-shaped prefixes (TOKEN, AWS, AZURE, NPM, GITHUB, GITLAB, JENKINS, CI_, WALMART, WMT), reads the parent project's package.json and CI configuration files (.gitlab-ci.yml,.github/workflows, Jenkinsfile), and HTTPS POSTs the aggregated JSON to a hardcoded interactsh OOB endpoint at d8a5d9pon5bugoc35cngp9hcregcqyezu.oast.me, plus a DNS callback with a hex-encoded hostname/username. The package is published at version 99.0.1 with a self-described 'Dependency Confusion PoC' purpose targeting Walmart's internal walmart-shared-modules namespace, intended to win npm's highest-version-wins resolution. Any installer outside Walmart's authorized testing scope still suffers full environment and CI-secret exfiltration; self-declared 'security research' framing does not neutralize the harm to unrelated installers.

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 walmart-shared-modules (version 99.0.1). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging walmart-shared-modules across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
walmart-shared-modules 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 walmart-shared-modules 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 walmart-shared-modules 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.
