What is MAL-2026-17214?

MAL-2026-17214 is a malicious package in git-en-boite-logging, published on 28 Sep 2026.

Official description

package.json declares a preinstall lifecycle hook that runs wget to a hardcoded webhook.site collector URL (https://webhook.site/3fcfa5af-1b4e-4556-9d48-26190d02795f/), passing $(whoami), $(hostname), and $(pwd) as query parameters. On npm install, npm invokes the preinstall script automatically, so the installer's OS username, host name, and current working directory are transmitted to an anonymous third-party webhook collector without any user action. This is the canonical dependency-confusion / reconnaissance beacon shape: an otherwise-empty package whose only on-install effect is to phone home installer identity to an attacker-chosen endpoint, typically used to confirm ingress into a target's internal build environment before staging a follow-on payload.
