## What is MAL-2026-13806?

MAL-2026-13806 is a malicious package in egypt0811, published on 12 Aug 2026. 

### Official description

The package contains only index.html (declared as main) with no JavaScript modules, no lifecycle scripts (preinstall/install/postinstall), and no bin entries. The HTML is styled as a Cloudflare Turnstile 'Just a moment...' interstitial and contains an obfuscated inline script that reconstructs a destination URL beginning with 'https://eg' from a string-array and calls window.location.replace to redirect the visitor's browser, forwarding query parameters. Neither npm install nor Node require() of this package executes any code — HTML is not a Node module and no install-time hooks are declared. The redirect fires only if a browser opens the HTML file directly. This looks like registry abuse to host a phishing/redirect page rather than a supply-chain attack against developers who install the package.

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-2026-13806?

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