claims-historical-claims-domainnpm
Advisory published Updated
claims-historical-claims-domain is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12625) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 35.4.4). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in claims-historical-claims-domain (npm)
What this malware does
On require, index.js loads bridge.js which selects a platform-specific URL path and downloads a binary via https.get from hostnames assembled by string-splitting fragments such as 'oob-worker.cf*-.workers.dev', with a DNS TXT-record base64 fallback under '.dl.wel1.ru'. The fetched bytes are written to a temp file under a masquerading name (dotnet_diag<rnd>.exe on Windows,.cache_<rnd> on Unix), chmodded 0755, and spawned detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd. No hash or signature verification is performed. A freshness marker file named 'analytics_state' gates re-runs to roughly once per six hours, and code comments frame the behavior as 'telemetry'/'analytics'. Host destinations and artifact names are obfuscated via array-join string splitting to defeat literal-string scanning.

Detection & response playbook
Malicious packageFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for claims-historical-claims-domain (version 35.4.4).
If you installed it — respond
Remove claims-historical-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.
Did it already run?
If claims-historical-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.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks claims-historical-claims-domain-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the malicious outbound activity and severs the channel.
