The 55-year actress from Liverpool, who has appeared in Shameless and Brookside, posted a series of messages on Facebook saying she had been served papers by the High Court.
One read: 'I need a lawyer ASAP! I've been committed to the High Court!'
Another said: 'I've had a wonderful day until I opened my front door five minutes ago! The High Court have served me!'
The Attorney General's Office confirmed it had sent a summons to Malone.
Venables and fellow killer Robert Thompson were given new identities following the murder in February 1993, which are strictly protected under the terms of a lifelong injunction.
The worldwide injunction bans any images or information relating to their identities being published or shared online.
Although the offence has a maximum punishment of two years in jail, earlier cases would suggest she would likely only receive a suspended sentence if found guilty.
