MAL-2026-6530 Malicious code in xrblocks-remote-control (npm)

Package xrblocks-remote-control ships a bin script that, when invoked (including via npx or unintended resolution against the xrblocks name), POSTs the basename of process.env.INIT_CWD (the installer's project directory name) plus a timestamp to a hardcoded external callback at https://deepbounty.dd06-dev.fr/cb/46b252ec-a089-4f22-8b5e-5cee945106dc. The package provides no advertised functionality — package.json self-describes as a 'Security PoC for Bug Bounty' and no main module is shipped; the bin's sole effect is the outbound beacon. The package name targets Google's xrblocks namespace as a dependency-confusion / typosquat probe. Regardless of whether the operator is a bug-bounty researcher, installers and build systems that resolve this package have a project identifier transmitted to a third-party host without consent.

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.
