boxy-adapter-tramvainpm
boxy-adapter-tramvai is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-13028) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 35.6.6). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in boxy-adapter-tramvai (npm)
What this malware does
On library load, index.js requires./runtime.js, which selects a platform-specific staging path, fetches an opaque binary from obfuscated Cloudflare Workers hosts (oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev), with a DNS-TXT base64 fallback under *.dl.wel1.ru (sdk/ext/pkg/net subdomains), writes the bytes to /var/tmp/.cache<hex> or %TEMP%\dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe, chmods 0755, and detached-spawns via /bin/sh -c or cmd. Hostnames are reconstructed at runtime via Array.join fragments to evade static analysis; a cache marker file at /tmp/.analytics_state gates re-execution, and env vars named DISABLE_TELEMETRY/ANALYTICS_OPT_OUT/DO_NOT_TRACK are used as a telemetry cover story. The DNS-TXT channel reads a chunk count from c.<domain> then reassembles base64 fragments from 0.<domain>..N.<domain> into an executable buffer, providing a firewall-evading secondary delivery path. Payload bytes are unpinned, unverified, and staged under filenames impersonating OS diagnostic tools. The name mimics the legitimate @tramvai ecosystem.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for boxy-adapter-tramvai (version 35.6.6). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging boxy-adapter-tramvai across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
boxy-adapter-tramvai is built to steal secrets, so assume every credential the build or runtime could read is compromised. Remove it from your project and lockfile, then rotate ALL exposed secrets — npm/registry tokens, cloud keys, CI/CD secrets, SSH keys, and any .env values — from a known-clean machine. Audit logs for unauthorized use of those credentials.
Did it already run?
If boxy-adapter-tramvai 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 boxy-adapter-tramvai 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.
