Which versions of claims-domain are malicious?

The following npm versions of claims-domain are flagged malicious: 35.6.7. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate claims-domain if I installed it?

Remove claims-domain 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 claims-domain — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If claims-domain 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 claims-domain part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — claims-domain is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-015161 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 claims-domain across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for claims-domain (version 35.6.7).

What this malware does

On require of the package, index.js loads _ext.js, which reconstructs destination hostnames from string-split arrays (e.g. ["oob-worker.cf99-9b3",".wor","kers.","dev"].join("")) to build URLs at oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev, and oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, with a DNS TXT fallback to sdk.dl.wel1.ru, ext.dl.wel1.ru, pkg.dl.wel1.ru, and net.dl.wel1.ru. The fetched platform-specific binary is written to /var/tmp or the Windows temp directory under disguised filenames (.cache_<hex>, dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe), chmodded to 0755, and spawned detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd /c start. The child_process module and fs.chmodSync API are also referenced through string concatenation (require("child_" + "process"), fs["chmod" + "Sync"]) alongside cover-story comments describing the routine as an analytics/telemetry SDK. The package's advertised purpose (a claims-domain library) does not require fetching or executing native binaries from anonymous Cloudflare Workers subdomains, and the delivery is unpinned, unhashed, and obfuscated.
