Official description

Package [email protected] was scanned across 2 files with no a static rule matches and no behavioral findings. No install-time lifecycle execution, no network exfiltration primitives, no credential access patterns, and no obfuscated payloads were observed in the analyzed content. The unusual version number (99.0.3) may warrant maintainer awareness but is not itself an attack signal.

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-2026-6942?

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