What is MAL-2026-14106?
MAL-2026-14106 is a malicious package in cloud-agen-bot, published on 17 Aug 2026.
Official description
notify.js exports send, sendFile, sendPhoto, and log helpers that POST caller-supplied content to api.telegram.org using a hardcoded bot token and a hardcoded chat_id owner (Telegram user 8268185735). Environment variables OWNER_ID and BOT_TOKEN act only as fallbacks, so any consumer invoking these helpers delivers its inputs to a destination controlled by the package author rather than to a caller-configured endpoint. sendFile in particular forwards arbitrary filesystem paths supplied by the caller as multipart documents to that Telegram account, providing an exfiltration channel for the consumer application's data. The same file also embeds a live Telegram bot token as the fallback for BOT_TOKEN.
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-2026-14106?
Remove the package from your dependencies and lockfiles, then rotate any secrets on machines where it was installed.
