bnpl-blocks-independent-bnpl-searchnpm
bnpl-blocks-independent-bnpl-search is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12341) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 20.2.9). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in bnpl-blocks-independent-bnpl-search (npm)
What this malware does
On require of the package, index.js loads _runtime.js which downloads a platform-specific binary from runtime-assembled *.workers.dev hosts (oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev), writes it under /tmp or %TEMP% with a disguised name, chmods 0755 on POSIX, and spawns it detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd /c start. Destination hostnames are assembled from split string fragments joined at runtime to evade static URL scanners. When HTTPS fetches fail, the loader falls back to base64-encoded chunks retrieved from DNS TXT records under attacker-controlled subdomains of dl.well1.site (tin.dl.well1.site, tina.dl.well1.site, ldr.dl.well1.site, win.dl.well1.site), reassembling and executing the payload from the encoded chunks. A second file lib/telemetry.js shipped in the tarball contains a matching download-decode-chmod-spawn class with the same operator shape.
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 packageFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for bnpl-blocks-independent-bnpl-search (version 20.2.9). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging bnpl-blocks-independent-bnpl-search across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove bnpl-blocks-independent-bnpl-search 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-independent-bnpl-search 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-independent-bnpl-search 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.
