## What is MAL-2026-14119?

MAL-2026-14119 is a malicious package in bcc-design-icons, published on 18 Aug 2026. 

### Official description

bcc-design-icons@9999.0.0 declares a postinstall script `node./notify.js` that runs automatically on `npm install`. The script performs an HTTP GET to the hardcoded bare-IP endpoint http://91.201.215.48:8000/npm-poc-bcc with query parameters containing `os.hostname()` and the package name. The 9999.0.0 version, absence of any icon-library functionality expected from the package name, and callback-to-bare-IP shape match a dependency-confusion attack that identifies internal/private installers to the operator. Hostname is host-identifying data exfiltrated to an attacker-controlled destination without any installer opt-in.

## What should I do about MAL-2026-14119?

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