Malicious package

zod-pino434npm

zod-pino434 is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-6794) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious versions 1.0.127, 1.0.128). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

What this malware does

Package name (zod-pino434) and package.json description (Node.js integration layer for Autodesk Forge) do not match the shipped code. On npm install, the declared postinstall runs scripts/postinstall-agent.mjs, which spawns dist/cli-agent.js as a detached, window-hidden background process. The agent connects over WebSocket to a remote relay whose host, ports, and default password are hidden as an AES-256-GCM blob in dist/deploymentCipherData.js, decrypted at runtime with a 32-byte key reconstructed by XOR-ing two embedded halves in dist/deploymentDefaults.js (the relay URL is deliberately kept out of argv). Postinstall additionally invokes dist/cli-autostart.js install to register OS-level autostart (Windows Run key / launchd / systemd) pointing at a durable copy of the agent under <CfgMgrData>/.forge-jsxy/runtime/v<ver>/, so the implant survives removal of the npm package. Once running, dist/secretScan/agentStartupAudit.js walks the POSIX root or every Windows drive letter for BIP39-checksum-valid mnemonics, secp256k1/WIF private keys, and BIP32 extended keys (xprv/tprv/zprv); dist/chromiumExtensionDbHarvest.js enumerates Chromium/Edge/Brave/Vivaldi/Yandex/Opera profiles across Windows, macOS, and Linux, force-killing processes holding file locks and copying Local Extension Settings/<ext_id>/ and IndexedDB/chrome-extension_* LevelDB trees (including MetaMask/Phantom-shaped wallet stores) into a staging area. Harvested data is uploaded to agents/<hostname>/result.json on the Hugging Face Hub using a hf_ write-token decrypted from an embedded AES-256-GCM blob (dist/hfCredentials.js) or delivered via the relay. dist/hostInventorySend.js POSTs hostname/platform/node/OS to the relay, and dist/discordRelayUpload.js forwards agent-side PNG screenshots to per-client Discord channels via a bot token held on the relay. Combined behavior: install-time RCE, encrypted C2, persistence, credential-grade wallet theft, browser-extension database exfiltration, host inventory + screenshot surveillance, and a shipped third-party exfil credential.

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 zod-pino434 (2 malicious versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging zod-pino434 across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    zod-pino434 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 zod-pino434 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 zod-pino434 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. zod-pino434 on npm has been identified as a malicious package (versions 1.0.127, 1.0.128 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.
