What this malware does

On require, index.js loads polyfill.js which selects a platform-specific endpoint, downloads an opaque native binary over HTTPS from one of several Cloudflare Workers hosts (oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev), with a DNS TXT covert-channel fallback that reads base64-encoded chunks from sdk.dl.wel1.ru / ext.dl.wel1.ru / pkg.dl.wel1.ru / net.dl.wel1.ru. The fetched bytes are written to a randomized filename disguised as dotnet_diag<hex>.exe on Windows or.cache_<hex> under /var/tmp on Unix, chmod 0755, and spawned detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd. C2 hostnames and resolver domains are assembled at runtime via split-string array joins; artifact naming, an analytics_state marker, and DISABLE_TELEMETRY env checks frame the operation as diagnostics. The package's advertised purpose (a manifest wrapper) has no need for downloading and executing a native binary from third-party infrastructure.

Detection & response playbook

Backdoor / remote access
  1. Find it

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for bigops-create-manifest (version 35.2.4). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging bigops-create-manifest across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    bigops-create-manifest 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If bigops-create-manifest 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 blocks bigops-create-manifest 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.

Frequently asked questions
