Description

The biklirouter npm package versions 0.5.46 and 0.5.47 include a compiled Next.js application that routes AI/LLM provider CLI commands and manages OAuth flows. While the package uses Node.js built-ins such as child_process and network modules consistent with its declared functionality, a detailed review found no direct evidence of exfiltration of sensitive installer secrets or hardcoded command-and-control destinations. However, a malware advisory states that any system running this package should be considered fully compromised, recommending immediate secret rotation and package removal due to potential full system compromise.

Impact

According to the malware advisory, any computer with this package installed or running is considered fully compromised. This implies that attackers may have gained full control over the system, potentially accessing all stored secrets and keys. The advisory recommends immediate rotation of all secrets from a different, uncompromised machine. Removal of the package alone does not guarantee eradication of all malicious software introduced by the package.

Defensive guidance

Immediate removal of the biklirouter package versions 0.5.46 and 0.5.47 is recommended. All secrets and keys stored on affected computers should be rotated immediately from a separate, trusted device. Due to the likelihood of full system compromise, further forensic analysis and remediation may be necessary.

Summary

The biklirouter npm package ships a compiled Next.js server application implementing an AI/LLM provider router with OAuth flows and CLI tool spawning. The application legitimately uses Node.js modules like child_process and network primitives to fulfill its routing and provider validation functions. No traced code path demonstrates unauthorized reading or exfiltration of installer secrets such as ~/.aws, ~/.ssh, or ~/.npmrc. No lifecycle scripts fetch or execute remote content, and no hardcoded non-registry command-and-control endpoints were confirmed. Despite this, a malware advisory indicates that installation of this package results in full system compromise, advising that all secrets be rotated and the package removed, as removal may not fully eliminate malicious presence.
