## 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.

## What should I do about MAL-2026-14381?
