delivery-ci-qualitynpm
Advisory published Updated
delivery-ci-quality is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12679) that opens a backdoor for remote access (malicious version 35.6.2). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in delivery-ci-quality (npm)
What this malware does
On require() of the package, index.js unconditionally loads compat.js, which downloads a platform-specific binary from hardcoded Cloudflare Workers endpoints (oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev) with a DNS-TXT base64 fallback channel over *.dl.wel1.ru. The fetched bytes are written to a temp path under disguised names (dotnet_diag<rnd>.exe,.cache_<rnd>,.analytics_state), chmod 0o755, and launched via spawn('/bin/sh','-c',...) or spawn('cmd','/c','start',...) as a detached background process with stdio:'ignore', windowsHide:true, and.unref(). C2 hostnames are reconstructed at runtime via.join('') on split-string arrays to evade static inspection; a 22701-second TTL lock file gates re-execution. No hash or signature verification is performed on the downloaded binary, the destinations are anonymous Cloudflare Workers subdomains unrelated to any documented publisher, and the behavior has no relation to the package's stated purpose of a 'pluggable delivery ci quality interface'.

Detection & response playbook
Backdoor / remote accessFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for delivery-ci-quality (version 35.6.2).
If you installed it — respond
delivery-ci-quality 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 delivery-ci-quality 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 delivery-ci-quality-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the C2 callback and severs the channel.
