## What is MAL-2026-15922?

MAL-2026-15922 is a malicious package in claude-channel-discord, published on 4 Sep 2026. 

### Official description

claude-channel-discord@9.9.9 is a dependency-confusion probe. package.json declares preinstall and postinstall hooks (`node index.js --save-prod`) and a main entry that both execute index.js, which reads os.hostname() and issues a GET to https://eo8f3m3ho26a0nm.m.pipedream.net/claude-channel-discord?h=${hostname}. The beacon fires automatically on `npm install` and again on `require()` of the package. The package has an empty description, an implausibly high 9.9.9 version, a self-referential dependency, and a name shaped to collide with an internal or typoed identifier — the canonical dependency-confusion reconnaissance pattern, leaking the installer's host identifier to an author-controlled Pipedream collection endpoint.

## What should I do about MAL-2026-15922?

Remove the package from your dependencies and lockfiles, then rotate any secrets on machines where it was installed.
