## What is MAL-2025-6694?

MAL-2025-6694 is a malicious package in amdocs-auth-package, published on 3 Aug 2025. 

### Official description

The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity.

Package name mimics an Amdocs internal package (dependency-confusion lure). package.json declares `preinstall: node index.js`, so `npm install` auto-executes index.js. index.js collects host reconnaissance via Node's os module and child_process (hostname, platform, arch, homedir, username/uid/gid/shell, OS info, plus output of `whoami`, `id`, and `pwd`) and POSTs the JSON payload to a hardcoded Burp Collaborator subdomain at https://bet2pv7fumnp3hnz9u5oxggb329txjl8.oastify.com/detox56. No legitimate functionality is present; the sole install-time effect is reconnaissance exfiltration to an attacker-controlled out-of-band callback host.

The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'amdocs-auth-package' @ 99.1.0 (npm) as malicious.

It is considered malicious because:

- The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity.

- The package executes one or more commands associated with malicious behavior.

## What should I do about MAL-2025-6694?

Remove the package from your dependencies and lockfiles, then rotate any secrets on machines where it was installed.
