cards-forms-clone-debit-clonenpm
cards-forms-clone-debit-clone is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12526) that opens a backdoor for remote access (malicious version 35.8.6). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in cards-forms-clone-debit-clone (npm)
What this malware does
On require(), index.js loads bootstrap.js which reconstructs endpoint hostnames from split string fragments (assembling *.workers.dev hosts such as oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev, cf103-070, cf102-baf, with a DNS-TXT chunked fallback via sdk.dl.wel1.ru, ext.dl.wel1.ru, pkg.dl.wel1.ru, net.dl.wel1.ru), downloads a platform-specific binary, writes it under a decoy filename ('dotnet_diag<hex>.exe' on Windows, '.cache_<hex>' on POSIX) into /tmp or %TEMP%, chmods it 0755, and detach-spawns it via '/bin/sh -c <path> &' or 'cmd.exe /c start /b'. No hash or signature verification is performed and the fetch URLs are unpinned. Telemetry-style cover strings ('.analytics_state', DISABLE_TELEMETRY / DO_NOT_TRACK env-var gating) and host-string reassembly conceal the C2 destinations and the nature of the dropped executable.

Detection & response playbook
Backdoor / remote accessFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for cards-forms-clone-debit-clone (version 35.8.6). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging cards-forms-clone-debit-clone across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
cards-forms-clone-debit-clone establishes remote access, so treat any host that installed it as fully compromised. Isolate the machine, remove the package, rotate all credentials it could reach, and rebuild from a trusted image rather than cleaning in place — a backdoor may have planted additional persistence.
Did it already run?
If cards-forms-clone-debit-clone 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 cards-forms-clone-debit-clone 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.
