What is MAL-2026-16152?
MAL-2026-16152 is a malicious package in strapi-plugin-os-info-meeb322k, published on 14 Sep 2026.
Official description
The package declares a postinstall script (postinstall.js) that runs automatically on
npm install. The script collects host reconnaissance data — os.hostname(), os.platform(), kernel release, uid/gid, all network interface addresses, memory and CPU info — base64-encodes the JSON payload, and POSTs it over plain HTTP to the hardcoded out-of-band host vml73pdk3ft3t434ssjycv4khbn2btzi.oastify.com (a Burp Collaborator subdomain). The package name mimics strapi-plugin-os-info but has no legitimate plugin functionality; the only shipped behavior is the install-time beacon to an attacker-controlled OOB interaction endpoint.What should I do about MAL-2026-16152?
Remove the package from your dependencies and lockfiles, then rotate any secrets on machines where it was installed.
