What is MAL-2026-6513?
MAL-2026-6513 is a malicious package in dtxto1ols, published on 26 Jun 2026.
Official description
package.json declares a postinstall script that runs automatically on npm install. The script performs filesystem reconnaissance (find / -type f scanning for database client binaries such as mysql and mongo, writing results to /data/db_clients_check.txt) and then POSTs the collected file contents over plaintext HTTP to a Burp Collaborator subdomain at 3dhd6wwmusbh04m22igmzvb4hvnmblza.oastify.com. The destination is an out-of-band attacker-controlled collaborator host with no relationship to the package's advertised string-utility purpose. The package name dtxto1ols also exhibits a digit-1 for letter-l substitution typical of typosquatting, which corroborates malicious intent.
The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'dtxto1ols' @ 1.0.2 (npm) as malicious.

The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity.
