Malicious package

bigops-products-timelinenpm

Malicious code in bigops-products-timeline (npm)

MAL-2026-13245
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall bigops-products-timeline

What this malware does

On require(), index.js loads vendor.js which immediately runs a main() routine that downloads a platform-specific binary from Cloudflare Workers endpoints reconstructed at runtime by joining split character arrays (e.g. ['oob-worke','r.cf100-416.workers.d','ev'].join('')), with a DNS TXT fallback resolving *.dl.wel1.ru (sdk./ext./pkg./net.dl.wel1.ru). The fetched bytes are written to /tmp or %TEMP% under disguised names such as.cache<hex> or dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe, chmod 0755, and executed detached via spawn('/bin/sh', ['-c', fp + ' &']) or spawn('cmd',...). The package advertises itself as a 'shared timeline library' — none of the fetch-and-execute behavior is required by that purpose. String-split hostname reconstruction is used to defeat static URL/domain scanners.

Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.

Detection & response playbook

Malicious package
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for bigops-products-timeline (version 35.8.9).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    Remove bigops-products-timeline 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If bigops-products-timeline 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.

Frequently asked questions

Detect & block this

O3 blocks bigops-products-timeline-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.
