Which versions of checkout-use-toasts are malicious?

The following npm versions of checkout-use-toasts are flagged malicious: 35.3.6. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate checkout-use-toasts if I installed it?

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.

I already installed checkout-use-toasts — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If checkout-use-toasts was installed, its post-install payload may already have run. Removing the package does not undo that — check outbound connections and credential use from the install window onward.

Is checkout-use-toasts part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — checkout-use-toasts is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-015176 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

How do I find checkout-use-toasts across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for checkout-use-toasts (version 35.3.6).

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.
