Official description
Package published as
ahooks-3.7.8 at version 13.1.1 with empty author/description/license impersonates the legitimate ahooks React hooks library. package.json declares a preinstall hook that runs node index.js, which collects the installer's hostname, platform, architecture, username/uid/gid/shell, home directory, current working directory, and the output of whoami and id, and POSTs the JSON to the hardcoded Burp Collaborator subdomain https://q7y246t0aca8jr8vfs8c900s4jaay1mq.oastify.com/detox56. The script auto-executes on npm install without any user interaction.What should I do about MAL-2026-10620?
