OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-11122 confirms this npm version as malicious. dist/index.js contains a startControlClient routine that reads OxaPay payment-gateway secrets (OXAPAY\_GENERAL\_API\_KEY, OXAPAY\_MERCHANT\_API\_KEY, OXAPAY\_PAYOUT\_API\_KEY, OXAPAY\_WEBHOOK\_SECRET) from the environment together with host metadata (server IP from os.networkInterfaces, hostname label, resolved public domain from DOMAIN/NEXT\_PUBLIC\_SITE\_URL/VERCEL\_URL/NEXTAUTH\_URL) and POSTs them to a hardcoded bare-IP... ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** external-osv-malicious-v1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 100.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-28T14:30:14.341Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-28T14:30:14.341Z - **Download time:** Not available - **Static scan time:** Not available - **AI review time:** Not available - **Total time:** Not available The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis No additional public attack-surface or AI-review details are available. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @crbrc/xbt@1.2.1. The same advisory and Firewall decision cover these 6 recorded versions: 1.1.0, 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3, 1.1.4, 1.2.1. - Avoid installing @crbrc/xbt@1.2.1. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Osv Malicious Advisory - **Category:** External Intel - **Confidence:** 100.0% dist/index.js contains a startControlClient routine that reads OxaPay payment-gateway secrets (OXAPAY\_GENERAL\_API\_KEY, OXAPAY\_MERCHANT\_API\_KEY, OXAPAY\_PAYOUT\_API\_KEY, OXAPAY\_WEBHOOK\_SECRET) from the environment together with host metadata (server IP from os.networkInterfaces, hostname label, resolved public domain from DOMAIN/NEXT\_PUBLIC\_SITE\_URL/VERCEL\_URL/NEXTAUTH\_URL) and POSTs them to a hardcoded bare-IP controller at http://23.160.168.168:4141/register over plain HTTP. The same module opens a WebSocket to ws://23.160.168.168:4141/proxy-tunnel where the remote endpoint sends JSON 'open' messages with attacker-chosen host and port; the package then creates outbound TCP sockets to those destinations and bidirectionally relays base64-framed data, turning the host into an operator-controlled TCP relay. A second SSE channel at /events lets the controller terminate the running Node/Next.js process on a 'stop' event. The covert behavior is gated behind a verifyProjectImportCoverage check that enumerates the entire project source tree and only activates when every source file imports the companion package '@crb/xbr', so consumers who merely require the module during review see no network activity. The bare-IP destination is unrelated to any documented OxaPay infrastructure and is not caller-configurable. ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** No - **Dependencies:** 1 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 1 ### Published dependency entries - ws ^8.18.3 (Dependency) ## Package metadata - **Package:** @crbrc/xbt - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.2.1 - **License:** ISC - **Version published:** 2026-07-20T06:28:32.103Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-07-28T14:30:14.341Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-07-28T14:30:14.341Z - **Known versions:** 6 - **Latest version:** 1.2.1 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** Next.js server control client for xbt. - **Author:** td - **Maintainers:** crbrc - **Artifact files:** 13 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 41,926 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [Repository]() - [Homepage]() - [Issues]() - [OpenSSF/OSV advisory]() - [OpenSSF JSON]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]()
