bnpl-blocks-seo-toolsnpm
bnpl-blocks-seo-tools is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-13016) that typosquats a legitimate package to trick installs (malicious version 35.2.3). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in bnpl-blocks-seo-tools (npm)
What this malware does
[email protected] declares itself an SEO tool but on module load (index.js requires./support.js) fetches a platform-specific native binary from one of several Cloudflare Workers hosts (oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev) with a DNS-TXT-record fallback channel to sdk.dl.wel1.ru, ext.dl.wel1.ru, pkg.dl.wel1.ru, net.dl.wel1.ru. The destination hostnames are reconstructed at runtime from split string arrays joined with.join("") to evade static string matching. The fetched binary is written to /tmp or %TEMP% under a disguised name (.cache<hex> on POSIX, dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe on Windows mimicking a.NET diagnostics tool), chmod 0755, and spawned detached with stdio ignored via spawn("/bin/sh") / spawn("cmd"). Execution is gated by a /tmp stamp file for once-per-6h cadence and suppressed when DISABLE_TELEMETRY / ANALYTICS_OPT_OUT / DO_NOT_TRACK are set, reducing detection footprint. The stated package purpose has no relationship to fetching and executing an unsigned native binary.

Detection & response playbook
TyposquatFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for bnpl-blocks-seo-tools (version 35.2.3). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging bnpl-blocks-seo-tools across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
bnpl-blocks-seo-tools is a typosquat — you almost certainly intended a legitimately-named package. Remove bnpl-blocks-seo-tools, install the correct package, and rotate any secrets exposed during the install since post-install scripts may have already run.
Did it already run?
If bnpl-blocks-seo-tools 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-seo-tools 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.
