What is MAL-2025-6727?
MAL-2025-6727 is a malicious package in hyperion-react-native-testapp, published on 28 Jul 2025.
Official description
The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity.
package.json declares a preinstall lifecycle script that runs wget at npm install time, sending the installer's username ($(whoami)), current working directory ($(pwd)), and hostname ($(hostname)) as URL query parameters to a hardcoded webhook.site collector (https://webhook.site/c4919b2f-dd76-4a2f-adca-2f052bc8ff0e/). This fires unconditionally on npm install without user consent and delivers installer identity/environment data to a third-party collector controlled by whoever created the webhook. The package name pattern and beacon shape are consistent with a dependency-confusion proof-of-concept, but the exfiltration behavior is real regardless of intent.
What should I do about MAL-2025-6727?
