Summary
Malicious code in @wagni_bot/web3 (npm)
Details

The npm package @wagni_bot/web3 is a supply-chain credential stealer disguised as a web3.js SDK. It is one member of a coordinated campaign of 25 crypto/web3 typosquat packages published under the single npm scope @wagni_bot on 2026-07-09.

Each package declares a postinstall lifecycle hook (postinstall: node postinstall.js) that executes automatically on npm install, before the package is ever imported. The script fingerprints the host and user (os.hostname(), os.userInfo(), os.platform()), walks the user's home directory (readdirSync/readFileSync) and reads high-value secrets — SSH private keys (~/.ssh/id_rsa), cryptocurrency wallet files, and .env files (API keys, tokens, seed phrases). It then JSON-encodes the collected data and exfiltrates it to a hardcoded Telegram bot via the Telegram Bot API sendMessage endpoint (https://api.telegram.org/bot8804087989:AAHUia-5DCloXsg9M9QhffTsHO5J_6FAxQM/sendMessage). All error paths are swallowed so the install appears normal.

codelake Research proved the packages belong to one campaign deterministically: the payload file is byte-identical across all 25 packages at each published version (version-lockstep), and every package exfiltrates to the same Telegram bot token — a single automated actor. Detected and classified independently from the live npm feed on 2026-07-09; at the time of reporting the packages were still live on npm and none of the 25 were present in OSV or GHSA (a first-catch).

This package version (@wagni_bot/web3@1.0.0) shows no concrete indicators of installer-side harm. No lifecycle scripts, credential reads, network beacons to attacker-controlled hosts, dropper patterns, or dependency-chain hijack signals were identified in the reviewed artifacts. The package name is scoped under a personal-looking scope and references 'web3', which can be adjacent to crypto-tooling name spaces sometimes used in supply-chain campaigns, but name proximity alone is not evidence of an attack.
