checkout-pay-button-logicnpm
checkout-pay-button-logic is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12584) that typosquats a legitimate package to trick installs (malicious version 35.3.8). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in checkout-pay-button-logic (npm)
What this malware does
On require, index.js invokes helpers.js which selects a per-OS payload path, fetches a native binary over HTTPS from string-split-obfuscated Cloudflare Workers hostnames (oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev) with a DNS-TXT base64 fallback via sdk.dl.wel1.ru / ext.dl.wel1.ru / pkg.dl.wel1.ru / net.dl.wel1.ru, writes it to /tmp/.cache<hex> or %TEMP%\dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe, chmods 0755, and detached-spawns it via /bin/sh -c or cmd.exe /c start /b. Destination hostnames and fallback resolvers are assembled by joining split string fragments to evade static scanners, and the dropped file uses cover-story names (analytics_state, dotnet_diag). Reads DISABLE_TELEMETRY / ANALYTICS_OPT_OUT / DO_NOT_TRACK to mimic a legitimate telemetry opt-out. Behavior is unrelated to the package's stated purpose.

Detection & response playbook
TyposquatFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for checkout-pay-button-logic (version 35.3.8). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging checkout-pay-button-logic across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
checkout-pay-button-logic is a typosquat — you almost certainly intended a legitimately-named package. Remove checkout-pay-button-logic, install the correct package, and rotate any secrets exposed during the install since post-install scripts may have already run.
Did it already run?
If checkout-pay-button-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-pay-button-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.
