checkout-use-toastsnpm
checkout-use-toasts is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12603) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 35.3.6). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in checkout-use-toasts (npm)
What this malware does
On require() of checkout-use-toasts, index.js loads bridge.js which fetches an OS/architecture-specific native binary from runtime-assembled Cloudflare workers.dev hosts (oob-worker.cf100/cf101/cf102-*.workers.dev) with a DNS-TXT fallback that resolves TXT records at subdomains of dl.wel1.ru and concatenates base64-decoded chunks as the payload. The bytes are written to /var/tmp/.cache<hex> (or %TEMP%\dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe on Windows) under disguised names, chmod 0755, and spawned detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd /c start /b. Destination hostnames are split into fragments and joined at runtime (['oob-worker.cf102-baf.wor','ke','rs','.d','ev'].join(''); ['sdk.d','l.','we','l1.','ru'].join('')) to evade static string matching. There is no signature or version pinning on the fetched payload. The package name and stated purpose (toast notifications for checkout flows) do not match downloading and executing a native binary, and the DNS-TXT covert channel is designed to bypass HTTP egress controls. Installing or importing this package results in attacker-controlled code execution on the installer's machine.

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-use-toasts (version 35.3.6). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging checkout-use-toasts across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove checkout-use-toasts 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-use-toasts 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-use-toasts 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.
