What is MAL-2026-15868?
MAL-2026-15868 is a malicious package in @bx-ui-framework/microfrontend, published on 4 Sep 2026.
Official description
package.json declares a runtime dependency
microfrontend whose source is a bare HTTPS URL at https://repo.artifactorymanager.com/bx-ui-framework/microfrontend rather than a version on the npm registry. The URL carries no version, commit, or hash pin, so npm install fetches whatever tarball is currently served at that location and executes any lifecycle scripts and code it contains inside the installer's dependency tree. The artifactorymanager.com domain is unrelated to any established publisher for this scope, and the tarball contents can change at any time without a version bump.What should I do about MAL-2026-15868?
Remove the package from your dependencies and lockfiles, then rotate any secrets on machines where it was installed.
