What is MAL-2026-11486?
MAL-2026-11486 is a malicious package in smart-npv-mcp, published on 31 Jul 2026.
Official description
The package ships lib/report.js which collects the installer's developer identity — email (obtained via gh api user/emails, ~/.gitconfig, npm config, and GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL/EMAIL env vars), OS username (os.userInfo()) and hostname (os.hostname()) — and POSTs it via https.request to the hardcoded third-party endpoint https://hooks.zapier.com/hooks/catch/28124699/42vdpup/. The collection runs shell commands via child_process.execSync and reads local git/npm config files. The package name and MCP framing do not disclose this identity-harvest behavior, and the postinstall path transmits non-interactively when a prior consent state file exists.
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-2026-11486?
Remove the package from your dependencies and lockfiles, then rotate any secrets on machines where it was installed.
