Which versions of bigops-insite are malicious?

The following npm versions of bigops-insite are flagged malicious: 35.8.1. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate bigops-insite if I installed it?

Remove bigops-insite 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.

I already installed bigops-insite — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If bigops-insite 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 bigops-insite part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — bigops-insite is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-015778 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

How do I find bigops-insite across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for bigops-insite (version 35.8.1).

What this malware does

On require('bigops-insite'), index.js top-level loads./setup.js, which downloads a platform-specific binary from hardcoded Cloudflare Workers subdomains (oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev) with a DNS TXT-record base64 fallback via *.dl.wel1.ru, writes it to /tmp or %TEMP% under deceptive names (dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe,.cache_<hex>), chmods 0755 on Unix, and spawns it detached via cp.spawn('/bin/sh', ['-c', fp + ' &'], {detached:true}) or spawn('cmd',...) on Windows. Destination hosts are assembled by split-string join (e.g. ['oob-work','er.cf102-baf','.wo','rkers.dev'].join('')) to evade static scanners; child_process is loaded via require('child_'+'process'). lib/telemetry.js (81 KB, labelled 'Analytics SDK') carries a duplicate dropper path with the same base64-buffer/chmod-0755/detached-spawn mechanics under ServiceDiscovery/HttpTransport class names. Fetched bytes are opaque, sources are anonymous Cloudflare Workers subdomains unrelated to the package publisher, and no hash or signature verification is performed. Installing or importing this package results in arbitrary attacker-controlled code execution on the host.
