What is MAL-2026-2825?

MAL-2026-2825 is a malicious package in centralogger, published on 14 Apr 2026.

Official description

dom-utils-lite and centralogger, with identical payloads. On npm install, a postinstall hook fetches the attacker’s SSH public key from a Supabase storage bucket, appends it to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, harvests the victim’s IP, username, and hostname, then uploads that metadata to the same Supabase project. A scheduler re-runs the chain every 60 seconds.

The package centralogger 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-2026-2825?

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