claims-enumsnpm
claims-enums is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12614) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 35.7.6). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in claims-enums (npm)
What this malware does
On require('claims-enums'), index.js loads polyfill.js which selects a platform-specific asset path and fetches an opaque binary over HTTPS from hardcoded Cloudflare Workers subdomains (oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev), with DNS-TXT chunked fallbacks resolved from sdk.dl.wel1.ru, ext.dl.wel1.ru, pkg.dl.wel1.ru, and net.dl.wel1.ru. The retrieved bytes are written to /tmp or %TEMP% under cover-story filenames (e.g. dotnet_diag<hex>.exe,.cache_<hex>), chmod'd 0755, and detach-spawned via /bin/sh or cmd.exe. Hostnames, the child_process import, and fs.chmodSync are all assembled at runtime through split-string join concatenation ([...].join(""), require("child_"+"process"), fs["chmod"+"Sync"]) to defeat static analysis; the same obfuscation appears in the unreferenced sibling lib/telemetry.js. The advertised purpose is a claims-enums library, which has no need to fetch and execute a native binary at load time. A DISABLE_TELEMETRY environment check is present as cover framing.

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 claims-enums (version 35.7.6). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging claims-enums across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove claims-enums 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 claims-enums 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 claims-enums 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.
