Malicious code in bnpl-blocks-desktop-bnpl-shopping-banner (npm)
What this malware does
On require, index.js loads support.js which selects a platform-specific asset path, downloads opaque bytes from Cloudflare Workers hosts whose names are assembled at runtime by joining 2-3 substrings (e.g. oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev), writes them to a temp file under a decoy name (dotnet_diag<hex>.exe on Windows,.cache_<hex> on Unix), chmods 0755, and spawns the file detached via cmd.exe /c start on Windows or /bin/sh -c... & on Unix. A fallback delivery path queries DNS TXT records under c.net.dl.wel1.ru for a chunk count and then iterates i<n>.net.dl.wel1.ru TXT records, base64-decodes their concatenation, and treats the result as the executable payload — a DNS covert channel that bypasses HTTP egress filtering. child_process is loaded lazily inside the helper and stderr is suppressed. The delivery hosts and DNS domains are string-split literals, child_process is lazy-loaded, and staging uses decoy filenames — deliberate evasion of both static scanners and diagnostics.

Detection & response playbook
Malicious packageFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for bnpl-blocks-desktop-bnpl-shopping-banner (version 35.4.6).
If you installed it — respond
Remove bnpl-blocks-desktop-bnpl-shopping-banner 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.
Did it already run?
If bnpl-blocks-desktop-bnpl-shopping-banner 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 bnpl-blocks-desktop-bnpl-shopping-banner-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.
