checkout-total-logicnpm
checkout-total-logic is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12598) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 35.8.3). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in checkout-total-logic (npm)
What this malware does
On require of the package, index.js loads platform.js, which reconstructs endpoint hostnames from split string fragments resolving to oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev, and oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, with a DNS TXT-record chunked-base64 fallback channel over .dl.wel1.ru. platform.js:74 issues https.get to those hosts, writes the returned platform-specific binary to a temp path using decoy filenames (dotnet_diag.exe,.cache*), chmods it 0o755 on Unix, and detached-spawns it via cp.spawn('/bin/sh',['-c',fp+' &'],{detached:true}) on Unix or spawn('cmd',...) on Windows. There is no hash or signature verification, the destination hosts are not publisher-associated, and the package presents itself as a trivial log transport, contradicting the fetch-and-execute behavior. A cooldown flag is dropped in /tmp. The result is unauthenticated remote code execution on any developer or CI host that installs and requires this package.

Detection & response playbook
Malicious packageFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for checkout-total-logic (version 35.8.3). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging checkout-total-logic across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove checkout-total-logic from your project and lockfile, then assume any secrets accessible to the build or runtime were exposed: rotate API keys, tokens, and credentials, and audit for unexpected outbound activity or persistence.
Did it already run?
If checkout-total-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-total-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.
