MAL-2026-16290

Summary: Malicious code in @insiderintelligence/googleadmanager (npm)

Details: Source: amazon-inspector (a659995af42be0d4f8360b45a37295eab4d68f513c6b3aa49903b3028e0567f5) The package's `install` lifecycle script runs `node index.js`, which loads `lib/core.js`. On install, that module collects `os.userInfo().username`, `os.hostname()`, and the basename of the current working directory, then issues a `dns.resolve4` for a subdomain composed of those values under the hardcoded external domain `oob.algamil7x.xyz`. Module loads and the destination hostname are hex-array obfuscated: `lib/g7h8i9.js` uses `module.constructor._load` with hex-decoded strings to require `os`, `dns`, and `process`, and `lib/h8i9j0.js` stores the destination as hex arrays that decode to `oob.algamil7x.xyz`. The package name typosquats a legitimate ad-tech scope, and no functionality matching that stated purpose is present — the install-time DNS beacon is the package's only observable behavior.

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.
