Malicious Solidity Pro VS Code Extensions Harvest Wallets and Credentials

  • Engineer — Act: If any developers on your team installed helper-beeps.solidity-pro or web3devtoolsx.solidity-pro, treat the workstation as compromised: remove the extensions, rotate all API keys and credentials accessible from that machine, and audit browser-stored secrets. Extend extension allow-listing policies to block unvetted publishers.
  • SOC/IR — Act: Sweep developer endpoints for the presence of either extension directory (helper-beeps.solidity-pro, web3devtoolsx.solidity-pro) and review outbound network activity from developer machines for credential exfiltration since these extensions were available; the specific extension IDs give you a concrete hunt anchor.
  • Leader — Learn: A targeted supply-chain attack against Solidity/web3 developers via marketplace extensions; notable as a recurring pattern but operationally relevant only if your org employs blockchain developers, in which case delegate an extension audit to your engineering team.
