Which versions of accounts-forms are malicious?

The following npm versions of accounts-forms are flagged malicious: 0.0.2, 33.2.6. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate accounts-forms if I installed it?

accounts-forms is built to steal secrets, so assume every credential the build or runtime could read is compromised. Remove it from your project and lockfile, then rotate ALL exposed secrets — npm/registry tokens, cloud keys, CI/CD secrets, SSH keys, and any .env values — from a known-clean machine. Audit logs for unauthorized use of those credentials.

I already installed accounts-forms — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If accounts-forms 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.

Is accounts-forms part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — accounts-forms is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-014556, IN-MAL-2026-014546 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

What this malware does

On require() of accounts-forms, index.js loads polyfill.js which selects a platform-specific URL and downloads an opaque binary over HTTPS from hardcoded Cloudflare Workers subdomains (oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev) with a DNS-TXT fallback under *.dl.well1.site. The downloaded bytes are written to a hidden path in /tmp (as.cache<hex>) or %TEMP% (as dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe or analytics_state), chmod 0755 on POSIX, and spawned detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd /c start. Destination hostnames are split across array-joined string fragments to evade static analysis, and the dropped binary uses cover-story filenames mimicking diagnostics/analytics artifacts. An opt-out gate keyed on generic telemetry environment variables (DISABLE_TELEMETRY, ANALYTICS_OPT_OUT, DO_NOT_TRACK) further disguises the fetch-and-execute chain as telemetry. The fetched executable is unsigned, unversioned, unrelated to any documented package purpose, and delivers attacker-controlled code to the installer's host on load.
