What is MAL-2026-10081?
MAL-2026-10081 is a malicious package in webrix-docs1, published on 9 Jul 2026.
Official description
The package declares a preinstall hook (
node index.js) that fires automatically on npm install. The script requires child_process, os, https, and http, collects hostname, platform, arch, username/uid/gid, shell, home directory, CPU/memory stats, cwd, and the output of whoami/id, then POSTs the JSON payload to a hardcoded Burp Collaborator (oastify.com) subdomain at https://c7kfuaf25guwigaz6r03kxet0k6bu3is.oastify.com/detox56. The package has an empty description and empty author, presents no advertised functionality, and its name mimics the webrix project — consistent with dependency-confusion/typosquat recon. Installing the package directly leaks installer host and user identifiers to an attacker-controlled OAST endpoint.What should I do about MAL-2026-10081?
Remove the package from your dependencies and lockfiles, then rotate any secrets on machines where it was installed.
