Which versions of yangming8 are malicious?

The following npm versions of yangming8 are flagged malicious: 1.0.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate yangming8 if I installed it?

yangming8 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.

I already installed yangming8 — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If yangming8 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.

Is yangming8 part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — yangming8 is associated with the GHSA-f3hv-h6vj-6j6r, IN-MAL-2026-017533 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

How do I find yangming8 across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for yangming8 (version 1.0.0).

What this malware does

The tarball's only shipped file is index.html, declared as the package's main. There are no lifecycle scripts, no JavaScript entry point, no dependencies, and no library surface — installing or require()-ing the package does not execute the payload on the installer's machine. The HTML presents a fake Cloudflare 'Just a moment...' verification page and, after a 1-second setTimeout, runs obfuscator.io-style JavaScript that reconstructs a destination URL from split string literals ('gin.microc' + 'loud.homes' + '/') and calls window.location.replace on it, forwarding the original query string. The destination is a lookalike domain at login.microcloud.homes (impersonating MicroCloud). The package appears to exist solely to host the phishing lander for retrieval via npm CDN mirrors (unpkg/jsdelivr), abusing the registry as static hosting for a browser-side credential-phishing page. Because the harm targets end users who load the HTML in a browser via a CDN URL — not developers who npm install this package — the installer-side risk is minimal, but the abusive distribution warrants registry takedown.

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.
