constructor-blocks-landingsnpm
constructor-blocks-landings is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12661) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 35.5.7). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in constructor-blocks-landings (npm)
What this malware does
On require() of the package's main entrypoint, index.js loads setup.js which selects an OS/architecture-specific asset and downloads a binary from a rotating list of hostnames assembled at runtime via string-splitting (e.g. ["oob-worker.cf101-adf.wo","rkers.de","v"].join("")), with a DNS-TXT fallback under dl.wel1.ru. The downloaded bytes are written to a temp directory under a disguised name (dotnet_diag_<rand>.exe on Windows,.cache_<rand> on Unix), chmodded 0755, and spawned detached via cmd.exe or /bin/sh -c "<path> &" with stdio ignored. Node built-ins are accessed through computed property names (os[k], fs['chmod'+'Sync'], require('child_'+'process')) to defeat static analysis. A secondary copy of the same primitives is bundled in lib/telemetry.js under a fake analytics/SDK shape. Hostname reassembly, disguised staged filenames, detached background execution, and a DNS covert channel are attacker-dropper shape, not telemetry.

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 constructor-blocks-landings (version 35.5.7). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging constructor-blocks-landings across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove constructor-blocks-landings 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 constructor-blocks-landings 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 constructor-blocks-landings 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.
