What is MAL-2026-5465?

MAL-2026-5465 is a malicious package in getd-content-management, published on 9 Jun 2026.

Official description

The unscoped package name 'getd-content-management' impersonates the legitimate @getd/* npm scope (acknowledged in the package's own README). On npm install, the postinstall.js lifecycle script collects host identifiers via os.hostname(), os.userInfo().username, os.platform(), process.cwd(), and CI-related environment variables (CI, BUILD_BUILDID, AGENT_NAME), and transmits them as query-string parameters in an HTTPS GET request to https://webhook.site/18dc4281-d366-438a-9186-76fbcd56ade5 — a generic third-party request-capture service unrelated to any publisher infrastructure. Errors are silently swallowed so the installer sees no indication the call occurred. The combination of name-confusion against an existing scope and silent install-time beaconing of internal hostnames, user accounts, build paths, and CI agent identity to an attacker-controlled capture URL is operationally indistinguishable from a malicious typosquat regardless of how the README frames the behavior.

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-2026-5465?

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