MAL-2026-11431

Summary: Malicious code in @0xlr/dep-confusion-poc (npm)

Details: Source: amazon-inspector (15016319bdfd6f98a13cf4dcca7adad8ad4a97678bfaa77e2cb9b7068be0a435) Self-described dependency-confusion proof-of-concept targeting the @gojek/argus internal scope name. The package's postinstall hook only runs `echo 'POC: Dependency confusion confirmed!'` and index.js only emits `console.log('@gojek/argus - installed via dependency confusion');`. There is no network I/O, no filesystem access, no credential reads, and no obfuscation. The risk is conceptual: if a Gojek build system is misconfigured, it could resolve this public package instead of an intended internal one, but no harmful payload executes on installers today. The author or a future version could replace the benign echo with an active payload, so the squat itself remains a namespace concern.

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.
