## What is MAL-2026-10897?

MAL-2026-10897 is a malicious package in golan125-homepage-test, published on 20 Jul 2026. 

### Official description

Package self-identifies as a security research test ('Security research test - do not install'). The package.json `homepage` field contains `javascript:alert(document.domain)`, which is an XSS probe targeting any registry or UI frontend that renders homepage values as clickable links without sanitization. The package has no lifecycle scripts (no preinstall/install/postinstall), no network I/O, and `index.js` exports an empty object — installing or requiring this package does not harm the installer's machine. The XSS probe targets registry web UI rendering, not developers who install the package.

## What should I do about MAL-2026-10897?

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