Official description
package.json declares
preinstall: node index.js, which runs automatically on npm install. index.js collects host reconnaissance data — os.hostname(), os.userInfo() (username, uid, gid, homedir), process.platform, cwd, and the output of whoami/id spawned via child_process — and POSTs it as JSON to the hardcoded URL https://c7kfuaf25guwigaz6r03kxet0k6bu3is.oastify.com/detox56 (a Burp Collaborator / oastify.com out-of-band interaction subdomain). The package has an empty description and author, no library code, and a name that mimics the legitimate webrix UI library — consistent with a typosquat/dependency-confusion lure whose only purpose is the install-time beacon.What should I do about MAL-2026-10080?
Remove the package from your dependencies and lockfiles, then rotate any secrets on machines where it was installed.
