What is MAL-2026-15681?
MAL-2026-15681 is a malicious package in @grab-food/order-sdk-web, published on 24 Aug 2026.
Official description
Package published under a scope impersonating the Grab food-ordering brand with no real functionality (index.js exports an empty object). Its sole dependency, [email protected], is pinned to a tarball URL at https://registry.grivy-packages.com/ — a lookalike domain outside the npm registry. Installing @grab-food/[email protected] causes npm to fetch and install code from that attacker-controlled host into the installer's node_modules, bypassing npm registry inspection and running whatever lifecycle scripts and code the fetched tarball contains. This is a dependency-chain dropper: the visible package is a hollow lure, and the actual payload arrives via the non-registry dependency URL.
What should I do about MAL-2026-15681?
Remove the package from your dependencies and lockfiles, then rotate any secrets on machines where it was installed.
