What is MAL-2026-14381?
MAL-2026-14381 is a malicious package in fund-portfolio, published on 23 Aug 2026.
Official description
Package declares scripts.preinstall: node index.js, causing index.js to run automatically on npm install. The script collects hostname, username, home directory, INIT_CWD, local IPv4, public egress IP (via api.ipify.org, icanhazip.com, ifconfig.me), DNS resolver IP and client subnet (via o-o.myaddr.l.google.com), and the parent project's package.json fields (name, author, repository, homepage). The collected JSON is exfiltrated to the hardcoded callback host da51rv0hb2uc72tg4gvgdepinjcallbk1.oast.fun (Interactsh/OAST) via DNS-chunked queries and HTTPS POST to /poc/<uuid>. The unscoped name is published at version 999.9.12 to defeat internal resolvers that fall back to the public npm registry, so any build referencing fund-portfolio without a private-registry pin will resolve to and execute this payload.
The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'fund-portfolio' @ 999.9.12 (npm) as malicious.
It is considered malicious because:
- The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity.
