What is MAL-2026-18227?

MAL-2026-18227 is a malicious package in flintqueue, published on 23 Oct 2026.

Official description

Review of flintqueue 0.1.0 on PyPI did not surface install-time or import-time behavior that targets the installer. No lifecycle hook network I/O, no credential or home-directory scanning, no outbound beacons to third-party endpoints, and no fetch-and-execute dropper 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.
