## What is MAL-2026-18145?

MAL-2026-18145 is a malicious package in quillonatts, published on 21 Oct 2026. 

### Official description

The package quillonatts 0.1.0 does not exhibit traced behavior consistent with supply-chain attack shapes. No install-time or import-time outbound network activity, no credential or environment-variable harvesting, no shell execution of fetched content, no persistence mechanism, and no silent-relay or backdoor code paths were observed in the shipped files.

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.
