MAL-2026-16354 Malicious code in @woodpecker-web-shared/components (npm)

On npm install, the package's postinstall hook runs node index.js, which collects installer host identifiers (os.hostname(), os.userInfo().username, os.platform(), architecture, cwd, node version, npm_lifecycle_event) and POSTs them as JSON to a hardcoded third-party collector at https://webhook.site/d9bc4bcc-ce74-4193-ae4e-96d234bb2220. The payload includes a src: 'loMesb' tag consistent with a campaign identifier used to correlate exfiltrated data across victims. The @woodpecker-web-shared/components scope/name has no legitimate reason to transmit installer identity to an anonymous webhook collector at install time, and the behavior fires automatically without user interaction. This is a recon beacon consistent with a dependency-confusion or typosquat lure.

Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.
