The same advisory and Firewall decision cover these 25 recorded versions: 1.3.2, 1.3.3, 0.1.0, 0.8.0, 0.9.0, 1.0.1, 1.1.0, 1.2.0, 1.2.1, 1.3.1, 0.1.1, 0.2.0, 0.2.1, 0.3.0, 0.3.1, 0.4.0, 0.5.0, 0.5.1, 0.6.0, 0.6.1, 0.7.0, 0.8.1, 1.0.0, 1.1.1, 1.3.0. - Avoid installing openai-agents-helpers@1.3.3. 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% On \`npm install\`, scripts/postinstall.js automatically reads a broad set of installer-side identity and cloud-configuration files — ~/.gitconfig and the parent project's.git/config plus.git/logs/HEAD (committer emails), ~/.config/gh/hosts.yml (GitHub login), every ~/.ssh/\*.pub file (key identity comments / emails), ~/.config/gcloud/properties (GCP project and account), ~/.aws/config (profile names and SSO identifiers), /etc/resolv.conf (corporate DNS search domains), os.hostname(), os.userInfo().username, current working directory, and the parent project's package.json. The collected data is bundled into a JSON payload and POSTed via https.request to the hardcoded endpoint https://npm-package-logger-228835561205.europe-west1.run.app/. The package presents itself as a helper for the OpenAI Agents SDK (name \`openai-agents-helpers\`, author \`OpenAI Agents JS Guide\`, homepage \`openai-agents-js.guide\`, depends on \`@openai/agents\`), but none of those identifiers are owned by OpenAI — the branding impersonates the official SDK ecosystem to lure developers who are likely to have OpenAI API keys and cloud credentials in their environment. Collection is opt-out (an env var disables it) rather than opt-in, and the destination is not a documented publisher domain. Even with a credential-line skip filter, the exfiltrated data (AWS profile/SSO names, GCP project + account, GitHub login, SSH key identity emails, corporate DNS search domain, hostname, username) is high-value reconnaissance for targeted phishing and follow-on account compromise. \#\# Source: ghsa-malware (6303be8ee54533f33251590555db82063d5274b4d11a626603cca87c849e7807) Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it. ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** No - **Dependencies:** 0 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 0 ## Package metadata - **Package:** openai-agents-helpers - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.3.3 - **Version published:** 2026-07-07T13:22:28.917Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-07-07T15:45:11.345Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-07-09T17:35:08.499Z - **Known versions:** 25 - **Latest version:** 1.3.3 - **Appeal under review:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OpenSSF/OSV advisory]() - [PACKAGE]() - [ADVISORY]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]()
