MAL-2026-15590 Malicious code in com.db.autobahn.notification-center-electron (npm)

package.json declares preinstall and postinstall lifecycle scripts that automatically run curl on npm install to send installer identity (whoami, hostname, $PWD, timestamp) as query-string parameters to a long-random-label third-party host (da9nfhavbsgte1dqq8fgrbb7fyfekc37i.cyowl.com) over plain HTTP. The package name (com.db.autobahn.notification-center-electron) and implausibly high version (88.88.1) are consistent with a dependency-confusion lure targeting an internal scope; installing this package leaks host reconnaissance data to an external endpoint.

The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'com.db.autobahn.notification-center-electron' @ 88.88.2 (npm) as malicious.

It is considered malicious because:

• The package executes one or more commands associated with malicious behavior.
