What is MAL-2026-3030?
MAL-2026-3030 is a malicious package in model-poc-suhail, published on 24 Apr 2026.
Official description
Package ships poc.js which requires child_process and spawns /bin/sh, connecting its stdin/stdout to a TCP socket at 0.tcp.in.ngrok.io:10023. This gives whoever controls that ngrok tunnel an unauthenticated interactive shell on the installer's host. Execution is triggered automatically by the package.json postinstall lifecycle hook ("postinstall": "node poc.js"), so the reverse shell fires on every npm install.
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.
The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'model-poc-suhail' @ 1.0.14 (npm) as malicious.
It is considered malicious because:
- The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity.
What should I do about MAL-2026-3030?
