com.db.autobahn.notification-center-electronnpm
Advisory published Updated
com.db.autobahn.notification-center-electron is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-15590) that executes malicious code on install (malicious versions 88.88.1, 88.88.2). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in com.db.autobahn.notification-center-electron (npm)
What this malware does
package.json declares preinstall and postinstall lifecycle scripts that automatically run curl on npm install to send installer identity (whoami, hostname, $PWD, timestamp) as query-string parameters to a long-random-label third-party host (da9nfhavbsgte1dqq8fgrbb7fyfekc37i.cyowl.com) over plain HTTP. The package name (com.db.autobahn.notification-center-electron) and implausibly high version (88.88.1) are consistent with a dependency-confusion lure targeting an internal scope; installing this package leaks host reconnaissance data to an external endpoint.
The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'com.db.autobahn.notification-center-electron' @ 88.88.2 (npm) as malicious.
It is considered malicious because:
- The package executes one or more commands associated with malicious behavior.

Detection & response playbook
Malicious packageFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for com.db.autobahn.notification-center-electron (2 malicious versions).
If you installed it — respond
Remove com.db.autobahn.notification-center-electron from your project and lockfile, then assume any secrets accessible to the build or runtime were exposed: rotate API keys, tokens, and credentials, and audit for unexpected outbound activity or persistence.
Did it already run?
If com.db.autobahn.notification-center-electron was installed, its post-install payload may already have run. Removing the package does not undo that — check outbound connections and credential use from the install window onward.
