damir-cbr-dawdntrnssbfnpm
Advisory published Updated
damir-cbr-dawdntrnssbf is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-13531) that opens a backdoor for remote access (malicious version 35.8.1). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in damir-cbr-dawdntrnssbf (npm)
What this malware does
On require() of the package, polyfill.js downloads a platform-specific binary from attacker-controlled Cloudflare Workers hosts (oob-worker.cf10x-*.workers.dev) with a DNS TXT-record chunked-base64 fallback channel via *.dl.wel1.ru, writes the binary to a hidden path (/tmp/.cache<hex> on Unix, %TEMP%\dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe on Windows), chmods it 0755, and spawns it detached through /bin/sh or cmd.exe. The C2 hostnames are reconstructed at runtime by joining split string fragments to evade static detection, and the DNS-TXT fallback provides a covert transport when HTTPS egress is blocked. The behavior is framed as 'telemetry/analytics'. The fetched bytes are opaque, unversioned, and unpinned by hash, and originate from non-publisher infrastructure.

Backdoor / remote accessFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for damir-cbr-dawdntrnssbf (version 35.8.1).
If you installed it — respond
damir-cbr-dawdntrnssbf establishes remote access, so treat any host that installed it as fully compromised. Isolate the machine, remove the package, rotate all credentials it could reach, and rebuild from a trusted image rather than cleaning in place — a backdoor may have planted additional persistence.
Did it already run?
If damir-cbr-dawdntrnssbf 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 damir-cbr-dawdntrnssbf-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the C2 callback and severs the channel.
