If it is present, remove it, regenerate the lockfile with the project's package manager, and replace whatever it was used for.\n3.

On install the postinstall path performs two concurrent exfiltration channels: (1) a DNS beacon that resolves a subdomain of the form \u003chostname\u003e.\u003cpackagename\u003e.db4jlbku53082dmp0d7g3mffj7s7aordk.oast.me against an interactsh/OAST collector, encoding the installer hostname and package name into the DNS label; and (2) the native addon calls gethostname, getpwuid, and getenv and issues an HTTP POST to the hardcoded bare IPv4 endpoint http://64.181.165.115/dc with body shape 'h=\u003chostname\u003e\u0026u=\u003cuser\u003e\u0026p=\u003cpackage\u003e\u0026r=\u003cnpm_config_registry\u003e', leaking the installer's hostname, username, package name, and configured npm registry URL (which may reveal internal/private registry hosts). The package ships no source for the binary, the compiled addon's symbol set (socket/connect/send/fork) is unrelated to any frontend utility, and both the OAST subdomain and the bare-IP POST endpoint are attacker-controlled infrastructure. Dependency-confusion-style version (100.100.102) and the registry-URL field in the exfil payload are consistent with internal-registry reconnaissance.","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 pay-methods-kmf (npm)","id":"MAL-2026-17776","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":"pay-methods-kmf","purl":"pkg:npm/pay-methods-kmf","source":"MAL-2026-17776"}],"products":null,"published":"2026-10-11","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-2026-17776/"}
