# MAL-2026-7002: Malicious code in ronyfortest (npm)


- **Type:** Malicious package
- **Package:** `ronyfortest` (npm)
- **Published:** 8 Jul 2026

## What is MAL-2026-7002?

MAL-2026-7002 is a malicious package in ronyfortest, published on 8 Jul 2026. 

### Official description

The package's postinstall hook (`node index.js`) runs automatically on `npm install` and collects the installer's OS username (`os.userInfo().username`), hostname (`os.hostname()`), and working directory (`process.env.INIT_CWD || process.cwd()`), then POSTs them as JSON to a hardcoded webhook.site inspector URL (https://webhook.site/49781ccd-e409-4a90-8a42-34ed52b9e7b1). package.json ships empty author/description/keywords metadata and declares no legitimate purpose. The behavior is an unconditional install-time beacon that leaks installer host/user identifiers to an author-controlled inspection endpoint.

## What should I do about MAL-2026-7002?

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