npm uninstall damir-cbr-dawdntrnssbf

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.

Detection & response playbook

Backdoor / remote access
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for damir-cbr-dawdntrnssbf (version 35.8.1).

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
