Malicious code in bigops-logs-player (npm)
What this malware does
On require() of bigops-logs-player, index.js loads polyfill.js, which reconstructs a list of Cloudflare Workers hostnames (oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev) from split string fragments to hide them from static scanners. It downloads an OS-specific native binary via https.get, writes it to /tmp or %TEMP% under a disguised name (.cache<hex> on Unix, dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe on Windows), chmods it 0o755, and spawns it detached through /bin/sh or cmd.exe. A DNS-TXT covert-channel fallback resolves alternate hosts under *.dl.wel1.ru (also assembled from split fragments). A freshness marker and environment opt-outs gate execution to reduce noise. The package advertises itself as a log-transport library; fetching and executing a native binary from obfuscated attacker-controlled infrastructure has no relation to that purpose.

Detection & response playbook
Malicious packageFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for bigops-logs-player (version 35.2.8).
If you installed it — respond
Remove bigops-logs-player 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.
Did it already run?
If bigops-logs-player 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.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks bigops-logs-player-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the malicious outbound activity and severs the channel.
