Malicious code in zomato-logger (npm) Remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

MAL-2026-6252
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall zomato-logger

What this malware does

On npm install, the package's preinstall lifecycle script in package.json runs curl to POST the installer's hostname, current user (whoami), working directory, and the entire environment (base64-encoded env output) to http://d8s0b82plbq3u5sb2vo0sb3a9obr4yjt7.oast.site/install/<base64-pkg> over plain HTTP. The destination is an Interactsh / oast.site out-of-band collaborator subdomain — infrastructure used to capture exfiltrated data from victim hosts. The package itself is a hollow stub (index.js exports only { name, version }), and the metadata (description: "Zomato logging library", repo URL git+https://github.com/zomato/zomato-logger.git) impersonates Zomato, consistent with a dependency-confusion attack targeting an org-internal package name. Any host that resolves and installs this package leaks every environment variable (including any CI secrets, tokens, and credentials present in the build environment) to the attacker.

The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'zomato-logger' @ 1.0.0 (npm) as malicious.

It is considered malicious because:

  • The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity.

  • The package executes one or more commands associated with malicious behavior.

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 zomato-logger (version 1.0.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging zomato-logger across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    zomato-logger 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 zomato-logger 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 zomato-logger 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. zomato-logger on npm has been identified as a malicious package (version 1.0.0 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.
