bigops-telephony-clientnpm
bigops-telephony-client is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12841) that typosquats a legitimate package to trick installs (malicious version 35.7.6). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in bigops-telephony-client (npm)
What this malware does
On require() of bigops-telephony-client, index.js loads./runtime.js, which unconditionally downloads a platform-specific binary over HTTPS from Cloudflare Workers hosts whose domains are reconstructed by joining split string fragments (oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev). The downloaded bytes are written to a disguised location under /tmp or %TEMP% (e.g..cache<rand>, dotnet_diag_<rand>.exe mimicking a.NET diagnostic tool), chmod 0755, and spawned detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd /c start. A fallback code-delivery channel resolves DNS TXT records at sdk.dl.wel1.ru / ext.dl.wel1.ru / pkg.dl.wel1.ru / net.dl.wel1.ru, using 'c.<domain>' to obtain a chunk count and '0.<domain>'..'N.<domain>' to reassemble a base64-encoded payload. lib/telemetry.js ships a parallel drop-and-execute implementation (WorkerHost/NativeProfiler under an 'Analytics SDK' cover story) with the same primitives, currently unreferenced by the main entry. The combination of split-string domain construction, DNS-TXT covert channel, disguised drop paths, detached spawn, and duplicate loader is a supply-chain dropper delivering arbitrary attacker-controlled code to every consumer.

Detection & response playbook
TyposquatFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for bigops-telephony-client (version 35.7.6). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging bigops-telephony-client across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
bigops-telephony-client is a typosquat — you almost certainly intended a legitimately-named package. Remove bigops-telephony-client, install the correct package, and rotate any secrets exposed during the install since post-install scripts may have already run.
Did it already run?
If bigops-telephony-client 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.
How O3 protects you
O3 blocks bigops-telephony-client 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.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks bigops-telephony-client-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.
