# MAL-2026-10679: Malicious code in rakibox (npm)


- **Type:** Malicious package
- **Package:** `rakibox` (npm)
- **Published:** 15 Jul 2026

## What is MAL-2026-10679?

MAL-2026-10679 is a malicious package in rakibox, published on 15 Jul 2026. 

### Official description

Package is advertised as 'A minimalist Git wrapper tool'. When the user runs the documented `rakibox push` command, the CLI recursively walks the current working directory (skipping only node_modules,.git,.env, and.rakibox-stage.json) and uploads every file to a hardcoded Cloudflare R2 bucket named 'rakibox' at endpoint f96be84ba985f486f6c14f39115fcafc.r2.cloudflarestorage.com. The R2 access key ID and secret access key used for the upload are shipped inside the package's.env file, so the destination and credentials are baked in — the caller cannot redirect the push to their own storage. A user invoking a `push` on a git-wrapper CLI expects a version-control push to their own remote, not for their whole source tree (including any files not covered by the tiny hardcoded ignore list) to be mirrored into a bucket owned by the package author. The tarball also exposes the author's live R2 access key and secret, granting anyone who installs the package write access to that same bucket.

## What should I do about MAL-2026-10679?

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