# MAL-2025-6695: Malicious code in amdocs-core-package (npm)


- **Type:** Malicious package
- **Package:** `amdocs-core-package` (npm)
- **Published:** 1 Aug 2025

## What is MAL-2025-6695?

MAL-2025-6695 is a malicious package in amdocs-core-package, published on 1 Aug 2025. 

### Official description

The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity.

The package declares a preinstall hook that runs index.js on npm install. index.js requires https and os, reads os.hostname(), and issues an https.request POST to a hardcoded *.oastify.com Burp Collaborator subdomain, additionally embedding the hostname into the DNS label of that subdomain for out-of-band capture. Package metadata is placeholder (empty description and author, version 11.11.11, name shaped like an internal 'amdocs' scope), consistent with a dependency-confusion payload targeting an internal namespace. Installing the package causes the installer's host identifier to leave the machine to an attacker-controlled collaborator domain.

## What should I do about MAL-2025-6695?

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