wos-library-uinpm
Advisory published Updated
wos-library-ui is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-13467) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious versions 99.0.0, 999.999.999). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in wos-library-ui (npm)
What this malware does
[email protected] declares scripts.preinstall = 'node poc.js', which auto-runs on npm install. poc.js reads os.hostname(), os.userInfo().username, and process.cwd() and transmits them to the hardcoded Interactsh subdomain csytkgaubytabdgcvgljmgf8o1uj876pg.oast.fun via both a DNS A-record lookup (encoding host/user in the subdomain) and an http.request POST. The package name and inflated 99.0.0 version match the classic dependency-confusion shape targeting an internal 'wos-library-ui' package (self-described as an Inditex WOS PoC): any resolver that prefers the public npm registry will pull this artifact instead of the internal one and execute the beacon, disclosing internal host identifiers and build-path details to a third-party out-of-band collector. Self-labeling as a bug-bounty PoC does not alter the installer-side effect: unconsented install-time exfiltration of installer identity from a namesquatted package on the public registry.
Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for wos-library-ui (2 malicious versions).
If you installed it — respond
wos-library-ui 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 wos-library-ui 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 wos-library-ui-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
