  "details": "On September 23, 2026, an attacker published malicious versions of two MemTensor packages. The affected packages are the OpenClaw plugin @memtensor/memos-cloud-openclaw-plugin on npm and the MemOS Python library MemoryOS on PyPI. Both versions contain the same Go implant, sckit. The binary runs in the background each time the package loads. It collects credentials from the home directory and sends them to servers under skyleen[.]fr. It also includes the code it needs to copy itself into other repositories and packages that the stolen credentials can reach.\n\nCredential collection: the implant\u0027s `credentialPaths`, `readCredentialFile` and `extractJSONCredentials` functions target `.npmrc`, `.pypirc`, `.git-credentials`, `.netrc`, `id_rsa`, `id_ecdsa`, `id_ed25519`, `.vault-token`, `msal_token_cache`, `access_tokens.json` and `access_tokens.db`. Two regular expressions pick out secrets: one matches secret-like variable names (`token`, `secret`, `password`, `api_key`, `database_url`), the other matches known token formats.\n\nC2 protocol: the `internal/wire` package uses CBOR, X25519 key exchange and XChaCha20-Poly1305 (`sckit/xchacha/v1`), and handles signed leases, manifests and modules. The server delivers the modules at run time, so their contents were not observed. `scheduleSelfDelete` and `deleteExecutable` remove the binary after it runs.\n\nC2 paths: `/\u003c24 hex\u003e/config` (control), `/status` (preflight), `/batch` (results).\n\nPackage archive SHA-256 digests:\n- memos-cloud-openclaw-plugin-0.1.21.tgz: 995a208944176c437a023f4a5c11baad2eb77a91847893c82e5866eaabedb810\n- memos-cloud-openclaw-plugin-0.1.23.tgz: 6caf89b059e9b6c82bb4ac4727816d516753c4d26833434dea0ecda44a346eb3\n- memos-cloud-openclaw-plugin-0.1.25.tgz: a6870826cd7c7ec8d32af227252efcdcdca03ac956d4702cdc2157ca82641673\n\n---\n_-= Per source details.

The base64 CONFIG constant in lib/sckit.js decodes to a runtime configuration naming campaign_id \u0027cloud-openclaw-semi-nuclear\u0027, inventory_roots [\u0027$HOME\u0027], state_dir \u0027$HOME/.openclaw/.cache/runtime\u0027, and three control/preflight/result fronts at 8a8acaf167b3.skyleen.fr, 0b48fafd6fbe.skyleen.fr, and 266297c6df27.skyleen.fr with UUID-shaped /config, /status, /batch paths \u2014 destinations that are not present in cleartext anywhere in the JavaScript source. The configuration\u0027s \u0027channel\u0027 field is \u0027exact-ref-one-use-NPM_TOKEN,@memtensor/memos-cloud-openclaw-plugin\u0027, and a companion collectStageZero() invokes the same binary synchronously with \u0027--require-credential-receipt\u0027, targeting the installer\u0027s npm publishing token as it appears in ~/.npmrc or in CI environment variables. The combination of a bundled native implant auto-executed on plugin load, obfuscated hardcoded C2 fronts, whole-$HOME inventory, and explicit NPM_TOKEN capture is credential theft and host exfiltration against the installer, not the plugin functionality the package name advertises. Binary strings such as \u0027supplychain.local/campaign\u0027 and the \u0027semi-nuclear\u0027 profile label suggest a red-team or research framing, but the published artifact acts on installers of a memory plugin rather than on an operator-chosen target, so the offensive-tool framing does not apply.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (392fa28fd3caee9373f574a4e84e36f01d87d366eeb463993b189b95416cec62)\nAny 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.\n",
