Advisory published Updated
blocks-sahred-atom-mobile-app-bar-action is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12859) that opens a backdoor for remote access (malicious version 35.6.8). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in blocks-sahred-atom-mobile-app-bar-action (npm)
What this malware does
On require() of this package, index.js exposes a trivial stub class and then loads bridge.js, which selects a platform-specific endpoint, fetches an opaque binary from string-split-obfuscated Cloudflare Workers hosts (oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev) with a DNS TXT fallback channel over sdk.dl.wel1.ru, ext.dl.wel1.ru, pkg.dl.wel1.ru, and net.dl.wel1.ru carrying base64-chunked payload. The fetched bytes are written to /tmp or %TEMP% under disguised names (.cache<rnd> on Unix, dotnet_diag_<rnd>.exe on Windows), chmod 0755 on Unix, and spawned detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd.exe. C2 hostnames are assembled from split string arrays joined at runtime to evade static matching. The package name misspells 'shared' as 'sahred' and poses as a mobile SDK while the sibling _bridge.js performs the drop-and-execute.
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
Backdoor / remote accessFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for blocks-sahred-atom-mobile-app-bar-action (version 35.6.8).
If you installed it — respond
blocks-sahred-atom-mobile-app-bar-action establishes remote access, so treat any host that installed it as fully compromised. Isolate the machine, remove the package, rotate all credentials it could reach, and rebuild from a trusted image rather than cleaning in place — a backdoor may have planted additional persistence.
Did it already run?
If blocks-sahred-atom-mobile-app-bar-action 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 blocks-sahred-atom-mobile-app-bar-action-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the C2 callback and severs the channel.
