What is MAL-2026-6286?

MAL-2026-6286 is a malicious package in new-solt-1, published on 23 Jun 2026.

Official description

index.js imports child_process and invokes execSync with bash and zsh shells (around lines 315 and 331). The shell-execution pattern alone is not conclusive of malicious intent — it can appear in legitimate developer tooling, build helpers, or CLI utilities — but the package name has no clear declared purpose and the shell-execution surface warrants human inspection of the actual command strings, their inputs, and the trigger context (lifecycle hook vs. explicit CLI invocation) before recommending the package to installers.

Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.

What should I do about MAL-2026-6286?

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