What is MAL-2026-12347?
MAL-2026-12347 is a malicious package in ccxt-trading, published on 5 Aug 2026.
Official description
Package name resembles the popular ccxt library. The exported ProExchange constructor, invoked whenever a consumer instantiates any exchange through the package's exchange map, captures the caller-supplied apiKey, secret, and password, gathers host identifiers (hostname, username, homedir, timestamp), and reads a list of home-directory files including wallet.json,.env, config.json, keypair.json, id_rsa, and credentials.json. The collected data is POSTed via https.request to the hardcoded destination enjbyg3xk8l.x.pipedream.net. The destination is not configurable, not documented, and is unrelated to any exchange API.
What should I do about MAL-2026-12347?
Remove the package from your dependencies and lockfiles, then rotate any secrets on machines where it was installed.
