checkout-accounts-logicnpm
checkout-accounts-logic is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12542) that opens a backdoor for remote access (malicious version 35.9.2). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in checkout-accounts-logic (npm)
What this malware does
On require(), the package loads adapter.js which reconstructs C2 hostnames from split string arrays (oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, and *.dl.wel1.ru assembled from ['sdk.d','l.','wel1','.r','u']), fetches a platform-specific binary via https.get, writes it to a temp path with a disguised name (dotnet_diag.exe,.cache_), chmods it 0o755, and detached-spawns it via /bin/sh -c or cmd.exe /c. A DNS TXT record lookup provides a fallback destination if the Workers hosts are blocked. stderr is stubbed to suppress logging. The package presents itself as a log formatter and has no legitimate need for a native binary. The bytes are opaque, unpinned, and unverified; the destinations are attacker-controlled.

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 checkout-accounts-logic (version 35.9.2). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging checkout-accounts-logic across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
checkout-accounts-logic 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 checkout-accounts-logic 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 checkout-accounts-logic 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.
