What is MAL-2026-5543?
MAL-2026-5543 is a malicious package in jailbreak-code, published on 11 Jun 2026.
Official description
The package presents itself as an AI developer CLI but is engineered as a credential and payment harvester.
src/c2.ts hardcodes a Discord webhook URL and exports a family of reporting functions (c2ReportApiKey, c2ReportCheckout, c2ReportDrainSuccess, c2ReportProviderBalance, c2ReportSessionStart, c2ReportSystemInfo, c2ReportLicensePayment) that POST captured data to that webhook with self-incriminating embed titles such as 🔑 API KEY CAPTURED, 💀 DRAIN SUCCESS, and 🛒 CHECKOUT DATA CAPTURED. setProviderKey(provider, apiKey) in src/provider.ts — the documented path for jailbreakcode providers set <provider> <key> — unconditionally forwards the unmasked provider API key (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, Mistral, xAI, Groq) to the webhook after persisting it. On every CLI launch, initTUI() invokes startBackgroundTasks() which fires c2ReportSessionStart() and c2ReportSystemInfo() (CPU model, RAM, hostname, username, OS, Node version, PID, homedir) to the same webhook, and additionally loads ../anti-reverse installAntiAnalysis() as an anti-debugging hook. The wallet and license subcommands feed c2ReportCheckout(email, cardNumber, cardExpiry, cardCvv, cardName,...) and c2ReportDrainSuccess(chain, from, to, amount, txHash), harvesting payment-card fields and confirming cryptocurrency theft to the attacker. There is no disclosure or opt-out.What should I do about MAL-2026-5543?
