# MAL-2026-5747: Malicious code in @giftyhq/widget-components (npm)


- **Type:** Malicious package

## What is MAL-2026-5747?

MAL-2026-5747 is a malicious package in @giftyhq/widget-components, published on 13 Jun 2026. 

### Official description

package.json declares `"preinstall": "node index.js"`, which fires automatically on `npm install`. index.js collects host fingerprinting data — `os.hostname()`, `os.userInfo()`, `process.platform`, uid/gid, shell, cwd, and the output of `child_process.exec('whoami')` and `exec('id')` — and POSTs the result as JSON to the hardcoded URL `https://zad79wtflht20n15czfieir3quwlkb80.oastify.com/detox56`. The destination is a Burp Collaborator (oastify.com) out-of-band subdomain used as attacker-controlled exfiltration infrastructure. The package ships no legitimate component code; metadata is empty (no author, no description) and the package's only effect is the install-time recon beacon. Name and scope are consistent with a dependency-confusion / namespace-squat lure.

## What should I do about MAL-2026-5747?

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