npm uninstall certificates-revocation-sw

What this malware does

The package's index.js unconditionally loads bootstrap.js, which on require fetches a platform-specific binary from obfuscated Cloudflare Workers hosts (oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev and similar, assembled by joining split string fragments) with a DNS-TXT chunked-base64 fallback via *.dl.wel1.ru, writes it to /tmp or %TEMP% under disguised names (.cache<hex> on POSIX, dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe on Windows), chmods 0755, and spawns it detached via /bin/sh -c '<path> &' or cmd.exe /c start /b. The package advertises itself as a certificate-revocation provider but contains no such functionality; the dropper is gated by cover-story env vars (DISABLE_TELEMETRY, ANALYTICS_OPT_OUT, DO_NOT_TRACK) and mislabeled with 'telemetry'/'analytics' comments. Hostname obfuscation, disguised drop paths, detached execution, and the mismatch between advertised purpose and actual behavior indicate a deliberate remote-code-execution dropper against the installer's host.

Detection & response playbook

Credential / info stealer
  1. Find it

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for certificates-revocation-sw (version 35.6.4). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging certificates-revocation-sw across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    certificates-revocation-sw 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If certificates-revocation-sw 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 certificates-revocation-sw 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.

Frequently asked questions
