What this malware does

On require('checkout-pay-widget-logic'), index.js loads./vendor.js which downloads a platform-specific binary over HTTPS from hardcoded Cloudflare Workers hosts (oob-worker.cf*.workers.dev), with a DNS TXT fallback under *.dl.wel1.ru that reassembles base64 chunks from TXT records. C2 hostnames are assembled at runtime by joining split string fragments to evade static detection. The fetched binary is written to /tmp or %TEMP% under disguised names (.cache<hex> on Unix, dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe on Windows, mimicking a Microsoft diagnostic tool), chmodded 0755, and spawned detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd.exe with stdio ignored. A lock file named.analytics_state and 'telemetry'-labeled functions provide a cover story; the package's stated purpose is a 'log formatter'. Environment-variable opt-outs exist but the dropper runs by default.

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 checkout-pay-widget-logic (version 35.3.2). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging checkout-pay-widget-logic across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    checkout-pay-widget-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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If checkout-pay-widget-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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 blocks checkout-pay-widget-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.
