What is MAL-2026-18139?

MAL-2026-18139 is a malicious package in dictanovaasr, published on 21 Oct 2026.

Official description

Package dictanovaasr version 0.1.0 was examined and no evidence of exfiltration, install-time or import-time code execution from external sources, silent relay, credential harvesting, backdoor, or self-propagation was identified. No install-time network activity, no suspicious lifecycle hooks, and no reads of installer-side credential paths (such as ~/.aws, ~/.ssh, ~/.npmrc, or environment-variable scraping) were observed.

This campaign consists of similar loader packages, which provide executing code from a given URL. While they do not contain the malicious payload and the usage remains unknown, they are clearly a coordinated campaign to place multiple deceptive ways to load malicious code.
