Which versions of cobrowsing-logger are malicious?

The following npm versions of cobrowsing-logger are flagged malicious: 35.7.7. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate cobrowsing-logger if I installed it?

cobrowsing-logger is built to steal secrets, so assume every credential the build or runtime could read is compromised. Remove it from your project and lockfile, then rotate ALL exposed secrets — npm/registry tokens, cloud keys, CI/CD secrets, SSH keys, and any .env values — from a known-clean machine. Audit logs for unauthorized use of those credentials.

I already installed cobrowsing-logger — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If cobrowsing-logger 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 cobrowsing-logger part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — cobrowsing-logger is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-015114 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 cobrowsing-logger across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for cobrowsing-logger (version 35.7.7).

What this malware does

index.js unconditionally requires _adapter.js on load. _adapter.js reconstructs destination hostnames from string-split fragments (assembling oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev, and sdk.dl.wel1.ru / ext.dl.wel1.ru / pkg.dl.wel1.ru / net.dl.wel1.ru at runtime), platform-branches on the host OS, downloads an opaque executable over HTTPS with a DNS-TXT base64 fallback under the *.dl.wel1.ru zone, writes it to /tmp or %TEMP% under a decoy filename (.cache_<hex> on POSIX, dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe on Windows), chmods 0755, and spawns it detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd.exe. An opt-out branch is gated on generic-telemetry environment variables to mimic benign analytics behavior. The dropped binary is not shipped in the tarball and is not verified by hash or signature; whatever the operator of the Workers hosts / DNS-TXT channel serves at fetch time runs detached on the installer's machine on every require('cobrowsing-logger').
