## What is MAL-2026-13626?

MAL-2026-13626 is a malicious package in @mrbenty8jf1p9y5/oidc-bind-canary, published on 7 Aug 2026. 

### Official description

The package's postinstall lifecycle script issues an HTTPS request from the installer's machine to a Cloudflare tunnel at wiki-shared-carlos-exempt.trycloudflare.com on path /token-capture. The request is sent with the Host header spoofed to dependabot-api.githubapp.com and with TLS certificate validation disabled (rejectUnauthorized:false), disguising the callout as legitimate GitHub Dependabot traffic. The destination path name (/token-capture) and the disguise mechanics indicate an install-time beacon to an attacker-controlled listener, firing automatically on npm install.

## What should I do about MAL-2026-13626?

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