## What is MAL-2026-5787?

MAL-2026-5787 is a malicious package in @solana-labs/spl-toke, published on 15 Jun 2026. 

### Official description

Package name `@solana-labs/spl-toke` is a likely confusion-attack against the well-known `@solana/spl-token` SPL token client (missing trailing `n`, different scope). The shipped `lib/index.cjs.js` and `lib/index.esm.js` bundles contain the keyword combinations `fetch(` / `POST` / `https.get` / `ping` that pattern-matched as potential C2 / exfiltration shapes, but tracing of the minified bundle did not complete and the literal destination URLs and trigger paths could not be confirmed in this run. The `ping` token may be benign (e.g. a websocket keepalive method or solana RPC ping helper) and the `fetch` calls may be ordinary RPC traffic — but neither has been verified, and combined with the typosquat-shaped name on a high-value scope (`@solana-labs/*` mimicking the official `solana-labs` GitHub org and the canonical `@solana/spl-token` package), this needs human review before installer use.

## What should I do about MAL-2026-5787?
