What is MAL-2026-12353?
MAL-2026-12353 is a malicious package in clover-codelab-remote-pay-cloud, published on 5 Aug 2026.
Official description
The package declares a postinstall hook that runs index.js on npm install. index.js collects the OS username, current working directory, hostname, and non-internal IPv4 address via os.userInfo(), process.cwd(), os.hostname(), and os.networkInterfaces(), then POSTs the values as JSON over https to a hardcoded webhook.site collector at https://webhook.site/9aa13631-fbb0-4b6b-a256-27d1672f767c. The package name resembles Clover's remote-pay-cloud SDK and the version is set to 99.9.9, a dependency-confusion shape intended to override an internal package during resolution. The package provides no functionality matching its name — its only install-time effect is the exfiltration beacon.
What should I do about MAL-2026-12353?
Remove the package from your dependencies and lockfiles, then rotate any secrets on machines where it was installed.
