What is MAL-2026-10579?
MAL-2026-10579 is a malicious package in bimi-maker, published on 14 Jul 2026.
Official description
On
npm install, the package's preinstall hook runs node index.js, which executes whoami and id via child_process and collects os.hostname(), os.userInfo(), os.platform(), homedir, cwd, and related host identifiers. The collected JSON payload is POSTed over HTTPS to a hardcoded Burp Collaborator subdomain, https://mqgby2y4jlp0k06gbpg1ulgjqaw1ks8h.oastify.com/detox56. The package ships no legitimate functionality matching its BIMI-related name; the only observable behavior is an install-time reconnaissance beacon to an attacker-controlled OAST endpoint, consistent with dependency-confusion or typosquat probing.What should I do about MAL-2026-10579?
Remove the package from your dependencies and lockfiles, then rotate any secrets on machines where it was installed.
