Official description
The postinstall lifecycle script in this package issues curl POST requests to a subdomain of oastify.com — the out-of-band callback domain operated by Burp Collaborator / Project Discovery's interactsh. On every npm install, the script triggers an outbound HTTP request to an attacker-controlled OOB endpoint, which is the canonical fingerprint of a dependency-confusion / supply-chain reconnaissance payload (verifying the package landed in a victim environment and beaconing identifying host information out). The destination is not associated with any legitimate package functionality. Installer impact: any machine running
npm install on this package automatically beacons to the attacker's OOB collector, leaking install-time host metadata and confirming code execution to the attacker.What should I do about MAL-2026-5536?
Remove the package from your dependencies and lockfiles, then rotate any secrets on machines where it was installed.
