dolyame-boxy-blocknpm
dolyame-boxy-block is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-13298) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 35.5.2). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

What this malware does
[email protected] ships a _runtime.js module that is unconditionally required from index.js at load time. On import, _runtime.js reconstructs attacker-controlled hostnames from split string arrays (e.g. ["oob-wor","ker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev"].join("") producing oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, and similar for oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev), performs an https.get to a platform-specific endpoint, writes the returned bytes to /var/tmp or %TEMP% under a decoy filename (.cache_<rand> on POSIX, dotnet_diag_<rand>.exe on Windows), chmod 0755s the file, and spawns it detached via /bin/sh -c "<path> &" or cmd.exe with stdio:"ignore" and .unref(). If the HTTPS mirrors fail, a DNS-TXT covert channel under sdk.dl.wel1.ru / ext.dl.wel1.ru / pkg.dl.wel1.ru / net.dl.wel1.ru retrieves a base64-encoded payload chunked across multiple TXT records (c.<domain>, 0.<domain>, 1.<domain>...), reassembles it, and executes it through the same write-and-spawn sink. The advertised purpose ("boxy block" UI library) does not match the shipped behavior; the hostnames are obfuscated to evade static string search; the fetched binary is unpinned, unhashed, and unsigned. Any consumer that require()s or imports the package triggers full-host remote code execution.

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 dolyame-boxy-block (version 35.5.2). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging dolyame-boxy-block across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove dolyame-boxy-block 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 dolyame-boxy-block 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 dolyame-boxy-block 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.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks dolyame-boxy-block-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the malicious outbound activity and severs the channel.
