What is MAL-2026-15867?
MAL-2026-15867 is a malicious package in @bx-ui-framework/common, published on 4 Sep 2026.
Official description
package.json declares a dependency whose key equals the package's own name (@bx-ui-framework/common) and whose value is a bare HTTPS URL (https://repo.remoteknight.com/bx-ui-framework/common) rather than a registry version range. On npm install, npm fetches whatever bytes that URL returns and installs them as the resolved dependency, executing any lifecycle scripts they contain. There is no version pin, no commit SHA, and no integrity/hash check. The shipped index.js is an inert stub, so the manifest line is the entire delivery mechanism: whoever controls repo.remoteknight.com controls code that runs on every installer's machine. The self-referential dependency name is the dependency-confusion shape used to win resolution over an internal package of the same name.
What should I do about MAL-2026-15867?
Remove the package from your dependencies and lockfiles, then rotate any secrets on machines where it was installed.
