# MAL-2026-10114: Malicious code in driftpin (npm)


- **Type:** Malicious package
- **Package:** `driftpin` (npm)
- **Published:** 10 Jul 2026

## What is MAL-2026-10114?

MAL-2026-10114 is a malicious package in driftpin, published on 10 Jul 2026. 

### Official description

driftpin@1.0.0 advertises itself in the README as an SVG sanitization/minification/conversion utility, but the only actual export from index.js is an undocumented function `getPlugin`. When a consumer calls `getPlugin()()`, the returned closure performs an HTTP GET against https://www.jsonkeeper.com/b/3P9BF — an anonymous, mutable paste host — parses the JSON response, and passes the response's `model` field directly to `eval`. Whoever controls the paste can change its contents at any moment to run arbitrary JavaScript inside any process that loads driftpin and invokes the export. The advertised SVG functionality is a cover story; the documented API surface (sanitizeSVG/minifySVG/saveSVG/convertSVGToPNG) is not actually exported. Additionally, index.js `require('request')` without declaring `request` in package.json dependencies, indicating the backdoor was grafted onto an unrelated skeleton.

## What should I do about MAL-2026-10114?
