What is MAL-2026-13468?

MAL-2026-13468 is a malicious package in xdaxx, published on 6 Aug 2026.

Official description

The tarball contains a working browser-side account-takeover payload gated to run on noviembrenacional.com. When loaded in a logged-in victim's browser, it uses the victim's authenticated session to delete other users' accounts via WordPress/BuddyPress /members/<user>/settings/delete-account/ endpoints and, if the victim is the noviembrenacional administrator, changes the account email to [email protected] and triggers a password reset — completing a full account takeover. Execution progress is beaconed to a canarytokens.com URL controlled by the payload author. The same exploit is shipped in two forms: original.js in cleartext and i.js as a unicode-escape/hex-obfuscated copy (identifiers like _0xd243bf, strings built via \u00XX escapes and reversed-string tricks). The package has no lifecycle hooks and the declared main entry is missing, so installing or importing the package does not itself run the payload against the installer's machine; the npm registry is being used as hosting/distribution for a targeted attack tool against a specific third-party site.

What should I do about MAL-2026-13468?
