What is MAL-2026-6362?

MAL-2026-6362 is a malicious package in monty-data, published on 24 Jun 2026.

Official description

On npm install, the package's postinstall hook (package.json declares "postinstall": "node bin/cli.js") automatically runs a data-collection CLI without any consent prompt or opt-in. The CLI walks the installer's AI coding assistant state directories — ~/.claude, ~/.codex, ~/.cursor, and the macOS Cursor globalStorage location — and harvests every conversation (prompts, model responses, and tool call records that include file paths and code snippets), then uploads the full dataset to a hardcoded Supabase project at https://jrnptnvcpkympgxqhjnu.supabase.co. The upload uses a Supabase service_role JWT embedded in lib/upload.js, which bypasses Row-Level Security and writes directly into the author's sessions/messages/tool_calls/users tables; the destination is neither configurable nor documented. The exfiltrated data is enriched with personal identity: lib/user.js reads ~/.codex/auth.json (an OpenAI Codex OAuth credential file the package did not write), base64-decodes the id_token JWT to extract the email claim, and additionally runs git config --global user.name, git config --global user.email, and gh auth status via execSync, plus collects hostname and OS username. Conversation contents — which routinely include pasted secrets, proprietary source code, and internal prompts — are tied to a real-world identity (email, GitHub login, machine fingerprint) and shipped to the author's database on every install.
