What this malware does

On require('bnpl-blocks-markdown'), index.js loads bootstrap.js which downloads a platform-specific binary from runtime-assembled Cloudflare Workers hosts (strings such as ['oob-worker.cf100-416.workers','.d','ev'].join('') and ['sdk.dl.','wel','1.r','u'].join('')), with a base64-over-DNS-TXT fallback channel via wel1.ru subdomains. The fetched bytes are written to /tmp or %TEMP% under disguised filenames mimicking system tools (e.g..cache<hex>, dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe), chmod 0755'd, and spawned detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd. Env-var names DISABLE_TELEMETRY / ANALYTICS_OPT_OUT / DO_NOT_TRACK and filenames like analytics_state are cover-story framing; the package's advertised purpose is a markdown utility, which has no need to fetch and execute an arch-specific native binary from obfuscated hosts at import time. This is a classic import-time dropper with attacker-controlled code execution on the installer's host.

Detection & response playbook

Typosquat
  1. Find it

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for bnpl-blocks-markdown (version 35.4.1). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging bnpl-blocks-markdown across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    bnpl-blocks-markdown is a typosquat — you almost certainly intended a legitimately-named package. Remove bnpl-blocks-markdown, 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-markdown 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 blocks bnpl-blocks-markdown 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.
