wix-reg-poc-bypassnpm
Advisory published Updated
wix-reg-poc-bypass is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-17711) that opens a backdoor for remote access (malicious version 1.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in wix-reg-poc-bypass (npm)
What this malware does
The package shadows internal Wix registry module names (thunderboltRegistry, corvidRegistry, editorRegistry, siteAssetsRegistry, and others) and ships a registry-manifest.min.json pointing at a parastorage CDN URL so that loading one of these registry entries resolves to this package's code. thunderboltRegistry.js runs an IIFE at module load that executes id and hostname via child_process.execSync, combines the output with process.platform, process.arch, process.pid, and process.version, and sends the values as query-string parameters in a fetch() call to the hardcoded collector https://webhook.site/43022177-de67-4d5c-a6df-33083b2b026f. The exported factories return Proxy stubs rather than implementing the real registry contracts, so the module's only effective behavior when loaded by a Wix SSR host is the reconnaissance beacon.

Detection & response playbook
Backdoor / remote accessFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for wix-reg-poc-bypass (version 1.0.0).
If you installed it — respond
wix-reg-poc-bypass 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 wix-reg-poc-bypass 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 wix-reg-poc-bypass-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the C2 callback and severs the channel.
