What is MAL-2026-13549?

MAL-2026-13549 is a malicious package in dojo-rn-interview, published on 7 Aug 2026.

Official description

[email protected] declares a preinstall script that runs index.js on npm install. The script collects host identifiers via os.hostname(), os.userInfo(), os.homedir(), __dirname, and DNS server list, and reads the installer's /etc/passwd and /etc/hosts files, then POSTs the collected data over HTTPS to the hardcoded Burp Collaborator subdomain kqepxa9s4krgw7e7b6f7kufiy943stgi.oastify.com. The package name and behavior are consistent with a dependency-confusion reconnaissance beacon targeting internal build systems.

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-2026-13549?

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