OpenSSF/OSV malware advisory MAL-2026-5969 identifies this version as malicious and supplies the Firewall block.

OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-5969 confirms this npm version as malicious. cryptodao-sdk@99.99.99 ships a postinstall script (recon.js) that runs automatically on \`npm install\` and harvests installer-side secrets. The script enumerates a hardcoded list of credential-bearing environment variables (including AWS\_SECRET\_ACCESS\_KEY, NPM\_TOKEN, CI\_JOB\_TOKEN, GitLab tokens, database passwords, PRIVATE\_KEY, MNEMONIC, RPC URLs, Docker credentials), reads.env files from common application paths,...

## Public findings

### 1. High: Osv Malicious Advisory
- **Category:** External Intel
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

cryptodao-sdk@99.99.99 ships a postinstall script (recon.js) that runs automatically on \`npm install\` and harvests installer-side secrets. The script enumerates a hardcoded list of credential-bearing environment variables (including AWS\_SECRET\_ACCESS\_KEY, NPM\_TOKEN, CI\_JOB\_TOKEN, GitLab tokens, database passwords, PRIVATE\_KEY, MNEMONIC, RPC URLs, Docker credentials), reads.env files from common application paths, and lists CI build directories. The collected data, along with host metadata (hostname, platform, user, cwd), is POSTed over HTTPS to two attacker-controlled endpoints — webhook.site/d6d18927-... and enqoojbegdvxj.x.pipedream.net — with TLS verification explicitly disabled (rejectUnauthorized:false). A copy is also written to /tmp/.npm\_recon\_\<ts\>.json. The package.json sets version 99.99.99 (a classic dependency-confusion override to outrank private internal packages of the same name), the description claims it is an internal CryptoDAO module, and recon.js self-identifies in a comment as a 'CryptoDAO Dependency Confusion Reconnaissance Payload'. The combination of dep-confusion namespace abuse with install-time credential exfiltration is an unambiguous supply-chain attack.
