Summary
Malicious code in @brick-v2/core (npm)
Details

@brick-v2/core is a dependency confusion package published to npm on 2026-10-09 by the account s4yhii__, targeting the internal @galicia-toolkit-* / @brick-v2 package namespaces with inflated versions (e.g. 999.0.x). Early versions resolve ..dc.oob.s4yhii.com via DNS to beacon the victim's hostname. Later versions run node index.js from a preinstall hook, which loads a bundled native addon (prebuilds/-/metrics.node, Linux and Windows builds). The addon forks a detached process that collects hostname, username, OS/arch, cwd and the full values of CI/cloud secrets from environment variables (NPM_TOKEN, NODE_AUTH_TOKEN, GITHUB_TOKEN, ACTIONS_RUNTIME_TOKEN, ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_TOKEN, AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SESSION_TOKEN, SYSTEM_ACCESSTOKEN, AZURE_DEVOPS_EXT_PAT and others) and sends them as JSON via HTTP POST /native to oob.s4yhii.com:9999.

The package's main entry index.js loads a prebuilt native binary at prebuilds/<platform>-<arch>/metrics.node inside a top-level try/catch, executing native code within the Node process as soon as the module is required. The ELF binary reads credential-grade environment variables including AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SESSION_TOKEN, GITHUB_TOKEN, NPM_TOKEN, NODE_AUTH_TOKEN, SYSTEM_ACCESSTOKEN, ACTIONS_RUNTIME_TOKEN, and ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_TOKEN, along with hostname, uid, and current working directory, and POSTs them as JSON to the hardcoded host oob.s4yhii.com via a raw socket (POST /native HTTP/1.0). The native code also invokes fork/setsid to detach from the parent process. The package is published as @brick-v2/core at version 999.0.1 with a trivial JS wrapper, a generic core module description, and UNLICENSED — a shape consistent with a dependency-confusion payload targeting a private @brick-v2 scope so that npm resolution prefers this public version over an internal package.
