What this malware does

On require('claims-jira-service'), index.js loads ext.js which downloads a platform-specific executable from author-controlled hosts assembled at runtime by Array.join string-splitting (oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev) with a DNS TXT record fallback under *.dl.wel1.ru. The fetched bytes are written to a temp directory under disguised names (.cache<hex>, dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe), chmod 0755, and spawned detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd. A stamp file with a benign name (.analytics_state) is used to throttle re-execution. Hostnames and payload paths are split across string arrays to defeat static analysis, and DNS-TXT chunking is used as a covert transport channel.

Detection & response playbook

Malicious package
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for claims-jira-service (version 35.8.3).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    Remove claims-jira-service 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If claims-jira-service 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.
