bnpl-blocks-atom-bnpl-integrations-breadcrumbs is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12879) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 35.2.9). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

Malicious code in bnpl-blocks-atom-bnpl-integrations-breadcrumbs (npm)

Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall bnpl-blocks-atom-bnpl-integrations-breadcrumbs

What this malware does

On require(), the package's main entry loads ext.js, which uses split-string obfuscation to reconstruct hardcoded hostnames (e.g. oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev and additional Cloudflare Workers subdomains) with a DNS TXT fallback via *.dl.wel1.ru, downloads a platform-specific binary via https.get, writes it to a temporary path under a disguised name (.cache<hex>, dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe), chmods 0755, and spawns it detached via spawn("/bin/sh",["-c", fp+" &"], {detached:true}) on Unix or cmd.exe start /b on Windows. require("child_process") is itself reconstructed via string concatenation. No hash or signature verification is performed and the fetch destinations are anonymous, mutable, author-controlled hosts unrelated to any documented publisher. The package name and cover-story comments reference "session tracking" and "telemetry" but the traced behavior is a staged binary dropper.

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 bnpl-blocks-atom-bnpl-integrations-breadcrumbs (version 35.2.9).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    Remove bnpl-blocks-atom-bnpl-integrations-breadcrumbs 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 bnpl-blocks-atom-bnpl-integrations-breadcrumbs 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

No. bnpl-blocks-atom-bnpl-integrations-breadcrumbs on npm has been identified as a malicious package (version 35.2.9 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.
