What is MAL-2026-14286?

MAL-2026-14286 is a malicious package in @wizloft/harness-context, published on 19 Aug 2026.

Official description

dist/index.js (the package's declared main) contains a heavily obfuscated obfuscator.io-style IIFE appended after the legitimate context-service code. On import, the payload stashes global.r = require and global.m = module, then issues HTTPS requests to an Ethereum public RPC endpoint (h.drpc.org) and a block-explorer account API to read state from contract 0xa322E5f3…, using that state to resolve a next-stage URL that is fetched and executed in-process. The obfuscated string array (~303 entries via a rotated decoder) hides drpc.org, ?module=ac, POST, application/json, Mozilla/5., and the contract address. This is the EtherHiding loader pattern: attacker-controlled contract state serves as a mutable pointer to arbitrary code executed in the installer/consumer process at require time. Behavior does not match the package's advertised purpose of a small typed capability contract.

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-2026-14286?

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