What is MAL-2026-12499?
MAL-2026-12499 is a malicious package in wallet-analytics, published on 5 Aug 2026.
Official description
index.js exports a getPlugin function that issues an HTTPS request to a hardcoded bare-IP endpoint at https://46.183.25.232:45000/icons/<n> and passes the response's credits field to new Function('require','module',...,data.credits), invoking the returned function with a live require, process, and Buffer in scope. Any consumer that loads the package's default export executes attacker-supplied JavaScript with full Node privileges on the host. The C2 URL is assembled from split literals (protocol/separator/domain/path) alongside a decoy setDefaultModule that constructs cdnjs font-awesome URLs, disguising the traffic as icon-CDN requests, and the authorization header is spelled bearrtoken to further avoid casual inspection. Declared dependencies (@primno/dpapi for Windows DPAPI unwrap, better-sqlite3, node-machine-id) are consistent with follow-on wallet and browser-secret harvesting delivered by the remote payload.
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-2026-12499?
Remove the package from your dependencies and lockfiles, then rotate any secrets on machines where it was installed.
