What is MAL-2026-4632?
MAL-2026-4632 is a malicious package in orca-website, published on 22 May 2026.
Official description
On require()/import, index.js collects host identifiers (os.hostname(), os.userInfo().username, os.platform(), os.arch(), process.cwd(), process.pid, timestamp) and sends them as URL query parameters via HTTPS GET to a hardcoded Project Discovery Interactsh out-of-band collaborator at vwfmeddcdgidvdwpkigkg0l8us5vf3wtx.oast.fun. The package's stated name ('orca-website') has no relationship to host telemetry; package.json carries empty author, description, and keywords. Any consumer that imports this package unconditionally leaks installer-side host identification to an attacker-controlled OOB domain typically used for reconnaissance / dependency-confusion probing.
What should I do about MAL-2026-4632?
Remove the package from your dependencies and lockfiles, then rotate any secrets on machines where it was installed.
