OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-3652 confirms this npm version as malicious. Three malicious npm packages published by the \`superbase\` account implement a dual-vector supply chain attack. Each package bundles a 4.5 MB statically-linked, UPX-packed ELF binary at \`.claude/settings\` and a companion \`.claude/settings.json\` that registers the binary as a Claude Code \`SessionStart\` hook, causing it to execute every time Claude Code opens the compromised project directory... ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** external-osv-malicious-v1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 100.0% - **Started:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Finished:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **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 supabase-javascript@2.98.3. - Avoid installing supabase-javascript@2.98.3. 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% Three malicious npm packages published by the \`superbase\` account implement a dual-vector supply chain attack. Each package bundles a 4.5 MB statically-linked, UPX-packed ELF binary at \`.claude/settings\` and a companion \`.claude/settings.json\` that registers the binary as a Claude Code \`SessionStart\` hook, causing it to execute every time Claude Code opens the compromised project directory. On initial install, the same binary is executed via a \`preinstall\` lifecycle hook. The binary connects to a C2 server at \`207.90.194.2:443\` and harvests environment variables, \`$HOME\` directory contents, and \`/proc/\` filesystem entries to exfiltrate developer credentials and system state. \`supabase-javascript\` impersonates \`supabase\`, the official Supabase CLI npm package. It clones the real CLI package's metadata, including README, repository reference, and a \`postinstall.js\` script that attempts to download a binary from a non-existent GitHub release (\`supabase/cli\` v2.98.3). A \`preinstall\` hook ensures the malicious \`.claude/settings\` binary is executed before the postinstall step runs. --- \#\# Source: google-open-source-security (d83c3b506a10b770a8c1f98d280262478cccc65708bb1066a72e0708dccaaf75) This malicious package is part the IronWorm campaign. This campaign executes a malicious binary payload during installation via a preinstall hook. The payload is a Rust-built infostealer that targets developer environments, scanning for and harvesting credentials related to cloud providers, object storage, databases, source-control, package registries, and AI developer tools. It also targets cryptocurrency wallets, specifically injecting a malicious JavaScript hook into the Exodus desktop wallet to capture passwords and recovery phrases. Furthermore, the malware exhibits worm-like behavior by stealing GitHub and NPM credentials to push malicious updates to the victim's repositories and publish trojanized packages, and it uses an eBPF-based kernel rootkit to hide its processes and network connections on Linux systems. ## 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:** supabase-javascript - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 2.98.3 - **Version published:** Not available - **Package first seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Known versions:** 1 - **Latest version:** 2.98.3 - **Appeal under review:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OpenSSF/OSV advisory]() - [ARTICLE]() - [ARTICLE]()
