## What is MAL-2026-11064?

MAL-2026-11064 is a malicious package in page-navigation, published on 25 Jul 2026. 

### Official description

On npm install, the package's preinstall hook runs index.js, which collects the installer's hostname, OS username, home directory, DNS server list, __dirname, package.json contents, and the contents of /etc/passwd and /etc/hosts, and HTTPS-POSTs the collected data to a hardcoded Burp Collaborator subdomain at 0ef84h7vro1unpywu477drayyp4gs8gx.oastify.com. The behavior fires automatically on default install with no user interaction and targets installer-side system files and identifiers rather than the package's declared purpose.
