What is MAL-2026-15942?
MAL-2026-15942 is a malicious package in omni-channel-order-frontend, published on 6 Sep 2026.
Official description
The package name and 9999.0.0 version are consistent with a dependency-confusion lure targeting an internal omni-channel-order-frontend package. package.json declares a preinstall script (preinstall.js) that fires automatically on npm install. On execution it collects installer identifiers — os.hostname(), os.userInfo().username, current working directory, install path, process.platform/OS release, Node version, npm user-agent, and the resolved package name+version — and transmits them to hardcoded external destinations via three channels: a hex-encoded DNS-subdomain lookup to the Interactsh OAST collector dae7n4pijsh1ahi9684gu8get3kaiefc9.oast.online, an HTTPS POST to the same OAST host, and a plain-HTTP POST to the bare IP 5.189.159.252. Identifiers are hex-encoded into DNS labels so the fields still reach the attacker's authoritative resolver when HTTP egress is blocked. A swisscom-oce-* token embedded in the beacon tags the victim organization. Self-labeling in the source as an authorized bug-bounty PoC is author-controlled text and is inconsistent with a public-registry release using an implausibly high version number to win dependency resolution against an internal package.
