If it is present, remove it, regenerate the lockfile with the project's package manager, and replace whatever it was used for.\n3. List any CI runners, developer machines or containers that installed it, so their secrets can be rotated.\n4.

This fires automatically with no user consent and over plain HTTP. A preuninstall hook similarly leaks the hostname. The `oast.site` domain is an Interactsh out-of-band collector, used to receive arbitrary attacker-controlled callbacks. The package's advertised functionality is absent: `index.js` is a 59-byte stub (`module.exports = { name: 'zomato-mcp', version: '1.0.0' };`), with no MCP server implementation. Combined with the Zomato-namespace impersonation, this is a dependency-confusion / typosquat attack whose only real behavior is install-time recon and credential exfiltration of the entire shell environment (which routinely contains API tokens, CI secrets, cloud credentials, and registry auth tokens).","ecosystems":["npm"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":null,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":null,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":null,"nuclei":null,"refs":[],"tier":null},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Malicious code in zomato-mcp (npm)","id":"MAL-2026-6270","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"malicious","links":{"ecosystem":"npm","product":null,"products":[],"type":null,"year":"2026"},"n_packages":1,"n_references":null,"packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":[],"introduced":[],"last_affected":[],"package":"zomato-mcp","purl":"pkg:npm/zomato-mcp","source":"MAL-2026-6270"}],"products":null,"published":"2026-06-22","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"Apache-2.0","name":"OpenSSF Malicious Packages","prefix":"MAL"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":null,"updated":null,"vendors":null},"summary":null,"url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-6270/"}
