What is MAL-2026-10450?
MAL-2026-10450 is a malicious package in font-hub, published on 13 Jul 2026.
Official description
index.js exports a getPlugin() function that performs an HTTPS request to https://svganchordev.net/icons/<token> and passes the response's
credits field into new Function('require','module','exports',...,'Promise', data.credits), then invokes it with the real require, process, Buffer, and I/O globals. This executes attacker-controlled JavaScript with full Node.js privileges whenever a consumer imports the package and calls its default export. The package presents itself as a React SVG/font helper, but the README content documents an unrelated 'polymarket-clob-api' project, and the declared dependencies (@primno/dpapi, better-sqlite3, node-machine-id) are consistent with browser-credential-store access on Windows. The fetched endpoint is unrelated to any font/SVG CDN; an iconDomain map referencing cloudflare/fastly/akamai and a font-awesome path are decorative and unused by the live code path, which unconditionally targets svganchordev.net.What should I do about MAL-2026-10450?
Remove the package from your dependencies and lockfiles, then rotate any secrets on machines where it was installed.
