Malicious package

z-deno-truth-bwhlsznpm

z-deno-truth-bwhlsz is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-16470) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious versions 1.0.0, 2.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

Malicious code in z-deno-truth-bwhlsz (npm)

MAL-2026-16470
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall z-deno-truth-bwhlsz

What this malware does

The package's exports field maps the ./package.json subpath to setup.js, so any consumer resolving require('z-deno-truth-bwhlsz/package.json') executes JavaScript instead of reading the manifest. setup.js writes a Deno/Hono handler to /tmp/h.tsx that reads /readflag, /flagserver, /app/backdoor.tsx, and /entrypoint.sh from the host filesystem and returns their contents in the HTTP response, matching on a hitcon{...} pattern. The exports subpath hijack turns routine package-metadata resolution into arbitrary code execution on the installer, and the dropped file is a shipped exfiltration handler intended to be picked up by a Deno server on the host. While the file-read targets are specific to a CTF environment, the delivery mechanism (subpath hijack + filesystem drop) executes on any host that resolves the package's ./package.json subpath.

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 stealer
  1. Find it

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for z-deno-truth-bwhlsz (2 malicious versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging z-deno-truth-bwhlsz across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    z-deno-truth-bwhlsz 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If z-deno-truth-bwhlsz 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 blocks z-deno-truth-bwhlsz 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.

Frequently asked questions

No. z-deno-truth-bwhlsz on npm has been identified as a malicious package (versions 1.0.0, 2.0.0 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.
