What is MAL-2026-11016?

MAL-2026-11016 is a malicious package in vantora, published on 22 Jul 2026.

Official description

The package [email protected] (6 files) exhibits no observable supply-chain attack behavior. There are no lifecycle scripts fetching or executing remote content, no reads of installer secret paths (~/.aws, ~/.ssh, ~/.npmrc, browser profile stores), no hardcoded exfiltration endpoints, no obfuscated payloads, no credential distribution, and no backdoor or self-propagation mechanics. No evidence of an installer-side attacker benefit or install/import-time destructive action is present.

Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.

What should I do about MAL-2026-11016?

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