What this malware does

On require() of cardsmobile-notifications, index.js loads support.js which fetches an OS/arch-specific executable from a rotating list of obfuscated Cloudflare Workers endpoints (oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev), with a DNS TXT covert-channel fallback that assembles a base64 payload from numbered subdomains under sdk.dl.wel1.ru / ext.dl.wel1.ru / pkg.dl.wel1.ru / net.dl.wel1.ru. The downloaded bytes are written to /var/tmp or %TEMP% under disguised names (dotnet_diag.exe,.cache_), chmod 0755, and spawned detached via cp.spawn("/bin/sh", ["-c", fp + " &"], {detached:true}).unref(). No hash or signature verification is performed; the destinations are not the publisher; the C2 hostnames are assembled via string-split.join("") to evade static matching. A second 81KB module lib/telemetry.js, disguised as an APM/telemetry SDK, contains the same base64-decode + chmod 0755 + /bin/sh spawn pattern; it is not reached from index.js in this version but is armed and could be re-wired by a future release.

Detection & response playbook

Backdoor / remote access
  1. Find it

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for cardsmobile-notifications (version 35.7.6). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging cardsmobile-notifications across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    cardsmobile-notifications 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If cardsmobile-notifications 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 cardsmobile-notifications 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.
