bigops-products-loansnpm
Advisory published Updated
bigops-products-loans is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-13242) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 35.6.4). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in bigops-products-loans (npm)
What this malware does
On require() of bigops-products-loans, index.js loads init.js which downloads a platform-specific binary from obfuscated Cloudflare Workers subdomains (oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev) with a DNS TXT record fallback under c.<domain> in *.dl.wel1.ru that base64-concatenates numbered TXT record parts into a binary payload. Destination hostnames are assembled by joining split string fragments to evade static detection. The fetched bytes are written to /tmp or %TEMP% under a disguised name (dotnet_diag<rnd>.exe on Windows,.cache_<rnd> on Unix), chmodded 0755, and spawned detached via cmd.exe or /bin/sh -c with unref(). A TTL marker file suppresses re-execution and a DISABLE_TELEMETRY environment variable acts as an opt-out cover story. A second, parallel dropper implementation is bundled at lib/telemetry.js disguised as an analytics SDK (base64 chunk assembly, chmod 755, /bin/sh -c spawn of a decoded file path); it is not on the currently reachable require() path but ships in the tarball as a secondary payload runner.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for bigops-products-loans (version 35.6.4).
If you installed it — respond
bigops-products-loans 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.
Did it already run?
If bigops-products-loans 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-products-loans-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
