beaver-ui-formnpm
beaver-ui-form is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-11522) that opens a backdoor for remote access (malicious versions 12.6.1, 34.9.1). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in beaver-ui-form (npm)
What this malware does
Package advertises itself as a React UI toolkit but on require(), helpers.js runs init() at module load which selects a platform-specific URL, fetches a native binary over HTTPS from obfuscated Cloudflare Workers subdomains (oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev), writes it to /tmp under a disguised name (.cache<hex>) on Linux/macOS or to %TEMP% as dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe on Windows, chmods 755, and spawns it detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd.exe (_helpers.js:122-128). C2 hostnames are constructed via array-join string splits to evade static analysis, stderr is suppressed by a no-op wrapper, and DISABLE_TELEMETRY/ANALYTICS_OPT_OUT/DO_NOT_TRACK environment checks provide a telemetry cover story. If the HTTPS retrieval fails, the code falls back to a DNS-TXT covert channel: it resolves TXT records at c.<sub>.dl.wel1.ru for a chunk count, iterates 0..N.<sub>.dl.wel1.ru TXT records (sdk/ext/pkg/net.dl.wel1.ru), base64-decodes the concatenation into a payload buffer, writes it to disk and executes it. Result is full-host remote code execution on any developer machine or CI runner that installs and requires the package.

Detection & response playbook
Backdoor / remote accessFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for beaver-ui-form (2 malicious versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging beaver-ui-form across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
beaver-ui-form establishes remote access, so treat any host that installed it as fully compromised. Isolate the machine, remove the package, rotate all credentials it could reach, and rebuild from a trusted image rather than cleaning in place — a backdoor may have planted additional persistence.
Did it already run?
If beaver-ui-form was ever installed, its post-install/runtime payload may have already executed. O3's L7 egress monitoring and runtime eBPF sensors detect the credential exfiltration or command-and-control callback after install and block the malicious outbound channel, so you catch and contain the actual compromise — not just the presence of the package.
How O3 protects you
O3 blocks beaver-ui-form before install through its supply-chain scanner, and if it has already run, detects and severs the exfiltration or C2 callback at runtime through L7 egress monitoring and eBPF.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks beaver-ui-form-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the C2 callback and severs the channel.
