What is MAL-2026-2527?

MAL-2026-2527 is a malicious package in sjs-biginteger, published on 9 Apr 2026.

Official description

sjs-biginteger typosquats big.js on npm. Published April 7, 2026 by throwaway account vanes.s.p.orit.a, the package ships legitimate big.js source and hides its payload in a dependency: sjs-lint-build1. On install, the dependency’s postinstall hook fetches the attacker’s SSH public key from a C2 server, appends it to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, opens firewall port 22, then collects SSH keys, environment variables, config files (.env, Solana id.json, config.toml), and system fingerprints. It exfiltrates the collected data to two Vercel-hosted C2 domains disguised as Cloudflare services.

The package sjs-biginteger was found to contain malicious code.

Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.

What should I do about MAL-2026-2527?

Remove the package from your dependencies and lockfiles, then rotate any secrets on machines where it was installed.
