MAL-2026-17433 Malicious code in figma-to-apl (npm)

figma-to-apl is a dependency-confusion package: it takes a name that looks like an internal project, uses an inflated version (100.0.0) so it outranks private-registry versions, and runs node setup.js || true as a preinstall script on npm install. setup.js sends the hostname, username, working directory, OS, architecture, Node.js version and configured npm registry, with a per-package tracking token, in an HTTPS POST to https://s85r5k14qk.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/prod/hook. The npm account amel10 published figma-to-apl and 9 similar packages within two minutes on 2026-09-30, all with the same setup.js.

[email protected] declares a preinstall script ("node setup.js || true") that runs automatically on npm install. setup.js collects installer-side identifiers — os.hostname(), os.userInfo().username, process.cwd(), process.platform, process.arch, Node version, and the configured npm registry — and POSTs them together with a hardcoded per-package token to https://s85r5k14qk.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/prod/hook. The package's advertised functionality is a one-line string-truncation helper, unrelated to the beacon. The version number 100.0.0 combined with a per-package identifying token is characteristic of a dependency-confusion / typosquat reconnaissance probe designed to identify internal build systems that resolve the public package name.
