If it is present, remove it, regenerate the lockfile with the project's package manager, and replace whatever it was used for.\n3. List any CI runners, developer machines or containers that installed it, so their secrets can be rotated.\n4.

Its `preinstall` hook runs on npm install as `node beacon.js` and sends a DNS lookup and an HTTPS GET to `db3klhbi6i9hark1kegg174t38h33b6wt.oast.site`, using the package name in the request; npm account `0xamino_hunter` published it on 2026-10-08.\n\nPackage.json declares scripts.preinstall=\"node beacon.js\", which fires automatically on npm install. beacon.js performs a DNS lookup and HTTPS GET to a hardcoded Interactsh/OAST subdomain under oast.site, keyed on the package name, causing the installing host's source IP and resolver metadata to be logged by a non-first-party collector. The package is published under the @dransay scope on the public npm registry at version 99.0.0 — the standard dependency-confusion probe shape (scoped name matching a target organization, implausibly high version to win resolution against an internal package of the same name). Any build system that resolves @dransay/phone-fix-test from public npm will execute the preinstall callout and leak its network identifier to the researcher's OAST endpoint. The README self-labels the behavior as authorized security research, but a self-label does not change the installer-side effect: unconsented install-time exfiltration of host-identifying network metadata to a researcher-controlled collector.","ecosystems":["npm"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":null,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":null,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":null,"nuclei":null,"refs":[],"tier":null},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Malicious code in @dransay/phone-fix-test (npm)","id":"MAL-2026-17698","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"malicious","links":{"ecosystem":"npm","product":null,"products":[],"type":null,"year":"2026"},"n_packages":1,"n_references":null,"packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":[],"introduced":[],"last_affected":[],"package":"@dransay/phone-fix-test","purl":"pkg:npm/%40dransay/phone-fix-test","source":"MAL-2026-17698"}],"products":null,"published":"2026-10-08","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"Apache-2.0","name":"OpenSSF Malicious Packages","prefix":"MAL"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":null,"updated":null,"vendors":null},"summary":null,"url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-17698/"}
