What is MAL-2026-15814?
MAL-2026-15814 is a malicious package in chromatitle-dev, published on 2 Sep 2026.
Official description
The package 'chromatitle-dev' was identified as containing malicious obfuscated code. In src/utils/bootstrap.js, there is base64 encoded URL.
src/index.js unconditionally calls bootstrap() at module load. On win32, src/utils/bootstrap.js base64-decodes a URL, filename, and staging directory (stored in an _S object and decoded via Buffer.from(str,'base64').toString('utf-8')) that resolve to https://github.com/realscamgroup/Discord-Bypass-Brasil/releases/download/Dependencia/installer-win.exe, %USERPROFILE%\Desktop.chromatitle\installer-win.exe, and.chromatitle. The file is downloaded and spawned with stdio:inherit. The destination repository is unrelated to the package's stated purpose of terminal color/title formatting, is owned by an account named 'realscamgroup', and the URL/filename/directory are base64-encoded solely to hide these indicators from static string scanning. Any Windows consumer that require()s or import()s chromatitle-dev executes the fetched binary automatically.
