What is MAL-2026-5703?

MAL-2026-5703 is a malicious package in eslint-plugin-mistica-local-rules, published on 12 Jun 2026.

Official description

package.json declares a preinstall hook that runs index.js automatically on npm install. index.js collects host identity (os.hostname(), os.platform(), os.arch(), os.userInfo() including uid/gid, shell, homedir, cwd) and the output of whoami and id via child_process, then POSTs the JSON payload to the hardcoded URL https://eucfugc8bk66haszliir75yd74dv1lpa.oastify.com/detox56 (a Burp Collaborator subdomain). The package ships no eslint rule implementation — its only effect on install is the recon/exfiltration beacon. The package name eslint-plugin-mistica-local-rules mimics the Telefónica Mistica design-system internal eslint-plugin namespace, consistent with a dependency-confusion attack against private-registry consumers.
