What this malware does

On require(), compat.js selects a platform-specific path and downloads a binary from one of four hardcoded Cloudflare Workers hosts whose names are assembled at runtime by joining split-string arrays to evade static analysis (oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev), with a DNS TXT fallback channel that reassembles base64-encoded chunks from records under sdk.dl.wel1.ru, ext.dl.wel1.ru, pkg.dl.wel1.ru, and net.dl.wel1.ru. The fetched bytes are written to /var/tmp or %TEMP% under disguised names (.cache<hex> on Unix, dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe on Windows), chmod 0755, and executed detached via spawn("/bin/sh",["-c", path+" &"], {detached:true}) or cmd.exe /c start /b. No hash or signature verification is performed on the downloaded artifact; execution is gated only by environment-variable flags and a 22956-second time marker. The package name mimics a BNPL WordPress-blocks helper but the shipped code performs no such function.

Detection & response playbook

Typosquat
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for bnpl-blocks-independent-bnpl-navigation (version 35.8.4).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    bnpl-blocks-independent-bnpl-navigation is a typosquat — you almost certainly intended a legitimately-named package. Remove bnpl-blocks-independent-bnpl-navigation, install the correct package, and rotate any secrets exposed during the install since post-install scripts may have already run.

  3. Did it already run?

    If bnpl-blocks-independent-bnpl-navigation 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
