What is MAL-2026-11098?
MAL-2026-11098 is a malicious package in crm-reportinsightserv-paypal, published on 27 Jul 2026.
Official description
[email protected] executes a preinstall script (index.js) that collects installer host identifiers — os.hostname(), os.platform(), os.arch(), os.homedir(), and dns.getServers() — and POSTs them to the hardcoded Burp Collaborator subdomain x75kp5s6h5jveprlhbibqpi4nvtnhe53.oastify.com/hit at npm install time. The package name mimics an internal-sounding scope (PayPal / CRM reporting) and its only functional behavior is the beacon, matching the shape of a dependency-confusion reconnaissance package.
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-2026-11098?
Remove the package from your dependencies and lockfiles, then rotate any secrets on machines where it was installed.
