What is MAL-2026-18229?

MAL-2026-18229 is a malicious package in juniperrun, published on 23 Oct 2026.

Official description

Package juniperrun 0.1.0 on PyPI shows no indicators of installer-side harm in the files scanned. No install-time network activity, no lifecycle hooks fetching or executing remote content, no reads of credential paths (~/.aws, ~/.ssh, ~/.npmrc, ~/.pypirc) or environment scraping, no silent-relay of caller data to a hardcoded destination, and no persistence or backdoor mechanisms are present.

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.
