If it is present, remove it, regenerate the lockfile with the project's package manager, and replace whatever it was used for.\n3. List any CI runners, developer machines or containers that installed it, so their secrets can be rotated.\n4.

The beacon fires unconditionally on every install, signalling the installer's public IP and DNS-resolver identity to a third-party host. The package itself has no functionality: `src/index.js` is `module.exports = {}`, and the version `99.0.0-canary.1` is engineered to win semver resolution against an internal package of the same name (dependency-confusion canary shape). Whether the operator is a researcher or a hostile actor, any environment that resolves this name against the public registry leaks install-time identity to an attacker-controllable tunnel.","ecosystems":["npm"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":null,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":null,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":null,"nuclei":null,"refs":[],"tier":null},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Malicious code in exodus-secure-container (npm)","id":"MAL-2026-5441","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"malicious","links":{"ecosystem":"npm","product":null,"products":[],"type":null,"year":"2026"},"n_packages":1,"n_references":null,"packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":[],"introduced":[],"last_affected":[],"package":"exodus-secure-container","purl":"pkg:npm/exodus-secure-container","source":"MAL-2026-5441"}],"products":null,"published":"2026-06-09","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"Apache-2.0","name":"OpenSSF Malicious Packages","prefix":"MAL"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":null,"updated":null,"vendors":null},"summary":null,"url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-5441/"}
