MAL-2026-6910 Malicious code in zluri-ad-connector (npm)

The package declares a preinstall hook (node index.js) that runs automatically on npm install. index.js requires os, dns, https, querystring, and the local package.json, then harvests values from process.env matching a large sensitive-token allowlist (npm, GitHub, AWS, CI tokens, and generic secret/token/password/api_key names) along with os.hostname(), os.userInfo(), os.platform(), homedir, PATH, DNS server list, and package metadata. The collected bundle is POSTed over HTTPS to y543452sgo96xsasfdr72ms4rvxmld92.oastify.com, a Burp Collaborator subdomain used as an attacker-controlled exfiltration sink. The package name zluri-ad-connector combined with the canonical dependency-confusion version 9.9.9 indicates an intentional attempt to shadow a private Zluri internal package name so that CI resolvers pull this public malicious package.

The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'zluri-ad-connector' @ 9.9.9 (npm) as malicious.

It is considered malicious because:

• The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity.
