The incident that flagged it

High27 Jun 2026

`crossmint-wallets-sdk` + `@epsteinlovekids483/crossmint-wallets-sdk-pentest` - install-time wallet/credential exfil via Crossmint SDK impersonators

Between 2026-06-26 13:44 UTC and 2026-06-27 03:09 UTC the npm account epsteinlovekids483 published two impersonators of the legitimate @crossmint/wallets-sdk: a scoped @epsteinlovekids483/crossmint-wallets-sdk-pentest (8 rapid versions) that on require() exfiltrates AWS keys, SSH keys, npm tokens, gh auth token, and Solana keypairs to a 127.0.0.1:8052/exfil loopback C2; and the unscoped crossmint-wallets-sdk@1.0.0 that fires preinstall and install lifecycle scripts to capture host identifiers and POST them to an attacker-controlled endpoint. Both are flagged by CIRCL as MAL-2026-6522 and MAL-2026-6545.

Versions named here: 1.0.0-pentest, 1.0.1-pentest, 1.0.2-pentest, 1.0.5-pentest, 1.0.7-pentest, 1.0.9-pentest, 1.0.11-pentest, 1.0.11

What to do if you installed one of these

Treat the machine as compromised rather than simply upgrading. Packages in these incidents typically execute at install time, so the payload has already run with whatever credentials were in the environment.

1.Rotate every credential that machine or CI job could reach - registry tokens, cloud keys, SSH keys, CI secrets - from a different machine.
2.Pin to a version not listed above, then reinstall from a clean lockfile.
3.Clear caches and private mirrors. Artifactory, Nexus, Verdaccio, and devpi routinely keep serving a tarball after the public registry has pulled it.
4.Read the incident write-up above - recommended actions differ per incident, and some have specific indicators of compromise worth grepping your logs for.

Check your whole project

@epsteinlovekids483/crossmint-wallets-sdk-pentest is one of many packages in these incidents, and it is usually pulled in as a transitive dependency rather than one you installed directly. Paste your package-lock.json to check every dependency at once - it runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
