What is MAL-2026-10080?

MAL-2026-10080 is a malicious package in webrix-docs, published on 9 Jul 2026.

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?
