bnpl-blocks-atom-desktop-bnpl-textnpm
bnpl-blocks-atom-desktop-bnpl-text is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12903) that opens a backdoor for remote access (malicious version 35.2.5). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in bnpl-blocks-atom-desktop-bnpl-text (npm)
What this malware does
On require(), index.js unconditionally loads _polyfill.js, which selects a platform-specific asset path and fetches an opaque binary from one of three Cloudflare Workers hostnames (oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev), with a DNS-TXT fallback resolving subdomains of wel1.ru. The C2 hostnames are assembled at runtime from split string fragments joined with.join('') to evade literal string matching. The fetched bytes are written to /var/tmp or %TEMP% under a disguised name (.cache_<hex> on POSIX, dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe on Windows) mimicking a.NET diagnostic tool, chmod'd to 0755, and spawned detached via /bin/sh -c '<path> &' or cmd. Execution is gated by a stamp file and environment opt-outs to reduce observability. The package advertises a trivial text-abstraction layer with no legitimate need for a native binary or platform-specific asset delivery.

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-desktop-bnpl-text (version 35.2.5). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging bnpl-blocks-atom-desktop-bnpl-text across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
bnpl-blocks-atom-desktop-bnpl-text 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-desktop-bnpl-text 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-desktop-bnpl-text 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.
