What is MAL-2026-10142?

MAL-2026-10142 is a malicious package in eslint-jest, published on 10 Jul 2026.

Official description

The package presents itself as an ESLint-inside-Jest runner but the documented linkProject/lintFiles/createJestRunner API is not implemented. The actual exports are harvest-and-upload primitives. lib/collect.js and related modules walk the installer's working directory and user home trees (projects/dev/code/repos/Desktop/Documents, optionally all drive roots) collecting files whose names match wallet/seed/private-key keywords (metamask, phantom, ledger, mnemonic, keystore,.env,.pem,.p12, etc.). A regex scanner (collectDevSecrets, DEV_SECRET_PATTERNS) extracts EVM PRIVATE_KEY/DEPLOYER_KEY values, Solana key arrays, BIP39 mnemonics, hardhat mnemonics, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, API_SECRET, npm authToken, ghp GitHub PATs, and pypi- tokens and bundles them as dev-secrets-scrape.txt. gatherShellHistory reads.bash_history,.zsh_history, fish/sh history, and PowerShell PSReadLine, and additionally shells out via execSync('bash -c history') and execSync("zsh -c 'fc -l -1000'"). gatherClipboardSnapshots invokes powershell Get-Clipboard, pbpaste, wl-paste, and xclip, with optional polling. All collected artifacts are multipart-POSTed to https://trabalhos-flax.vercel.app/api/v1. Auxiliary code base64-decodes string constants (including 8.8.8.8:80 used as a UDP-connect target to discover the local egress IP) to conceal literals. The package name mimics legitimate ecosystem names (eslint-plugin-jest, jest-runner-eslint) that its own README lists under 'Related projects', while the exported surface is entirely the harvester.

Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.

What should I do about MAL-2026-10142?

Remove the package from your dependencies and lockfiles, then rotate any secrets on machines where it was installed.
