bnpl-blocks-atom-bnpl-image-popupnpm
bnpl-blocks-atom-bnpl-image-popup is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12877) that opens a backdoor for remote access (malicious version 35.9.6). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in bnpl-blocks-atom-bnpl-image-popup (npm)
What this malware does
On require of the package, index.js loads compat.js, which reconstructs C2 hostnames from string-split arrays (e.g., ["oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers",".dev"].join("")) to build HTTPS endpoints on *.workers.dev and DNS fallback hosts under *.dl.wel1.ru. compat.js selects a platform-specific endpoint, downloads an opaque binary via https.get, writes it to /var/tmp on Unix or the Windows temp directory under a disguised name (e.g., dotnet_diag<rnd>.exe or.cache<rnd>), chmods it 0755, and spawns it detached via /bin/sh -c "<path> &" or cmd /c start. A fallback loadViaDns routine retrieves the payload as chunked base64 from TXT records under *.dl.wel1.ru (a count is read from c.<domain>, then N sequential TXT records are concatenated and base64-decoded). Marker-file single-execution gating and TELEMETRY/DO_NOT_TRACK environment-variable kill switches are present to suppress re-execution and evade observation.
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
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for bnpl-blocks-atom-bnpl-image-popup (version 35.9.6). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging bnpl-blocks-atom-bnpl-image-popup across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
bnpl-blocks-atom-bnpl-image-popup 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 bnpl-blocks-atom-bnpl-image-popup 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 bnpl-blocks-atom-bnpl-image-popup 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.
