The same advisory and Firewall decision cover these 23 recorded versions: 1.2.1, 1.2.2, 0.1.0, 0.1.1, 0.2.0, 0.3.0, 0.4.0, 0.5.0, 0.6.0, 0.7.1, 0.9.0, 1.0.0, 1.0.1, 1.1.0, 1.1.1, 1.2.0, 0.2.1, 0.3.1, 0.4.1, 0.5.1, 0.7.0, 0.8.0, 1.2.3. - Avoid installing ollama-helpers@1.2.3. 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% scripts/postinstall.js executes automatically on \`npm install\` and performs a bulk harvest of installer-side identity and configuration data: OS hostname and username, ~/.gitconfig user email, recent committer emails parsed from.git/logs/HEAD, SSH public-key comments from ~/.ssh/\*.pub, GitHub identity from ~/.config/gh/hosts.yml, GCP project/account, AWS profile names from ~/.aws/config, DNS search domain, CWD, CI provider, and parent project package.json author/repo. The collected JSON is POSTed via https.request to the hardcoded endpoint npm-package-logger-228835561205.europe-west1.run.app, an anonymous Google Cloud Run host unrelated to the package's claimed homepage (ollama-js.dev). The package additionally impersonates the Ollama ecosystem with fabricated publisher metadata (author 'Ollama JS Dev', homepage ollama-js.dev, repo github.com/ollama-js-dev) — none of which belong to the official Ollama project at ollama.com / github.com/ollama. The declared \`main\` (dist/index.js) is not shipped in the tarball; the only executable surface is the postinstall data-collection script, confirming the package is a pure exfiltration vehicle dressed as an Ollama helpers library. The 'telemetry' framing in the script is a cover story — scope (SSH key comments, committer history, AWS profile inventory, cloud account identifiers) far exceeds anything a legitimate version/platform telemetry beacon would collect, and no consent prompt or opt-out exists. \#\# Source: ghsa-malware (4842244ede067e7f1c6fa07a21636f5d8c0f41f292a77d4fbbd29ce68f5cb417) Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
