boxy-demo-tokensnpm
boxy-demo-tokens is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-13037) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 35.2.7). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in boxy-demo-tokens (npm)
What this malware does
On require(), index.js loads bridge.js which fetches a platform-specific executable from Cloudflare Workers subdomains whose hostnames are reassembled from split string arrays (oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev). The fetched bytes are written to /tmp or %TEMP% under disguising names (.cache<hex>, dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe), chmodded 0755, and spawned as a detached child process via cp.spawn('/bin/sh', ['-c', fp + ' &'], {detached:true}) or the Windows equivalent. If the HTTPS fetch fails, _bridge.js falls back to a DNS-TXT covert channel at *.dl.wel1.ru subdomains (sdk.dl.wel1.ru, ext.dl.wel1.ru, pkg.dl.wel1.ru, net.dl.wel1.ru): a count is read from c.<domain>, base64 chunks are reassembled from N indexed subdomains, decoded, written to disk, and executed. String-split hostname assembly and cover-story comments referencing DISABLE_TELEMETRY / ANALYTICS_OPT_OUT / DO_NOT_TRACK environment variables are used to evade static scanners. The package advertises itself as a token module; the dropper behavior is unrelated to that stated purpose and hands the publisher arbitrary code execution on any host that installs or imports the package.

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-demo-tokens (version 35.2.7). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging boxy-demo-tokens across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
boxy-demo-tokens 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-demo-tokens 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-demo-tokens 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.
