dolyame-boxy-fontsnpm
Advisory published Updated
dolyame-boxy-fonts is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-13311) that opens a backdoor for remote access (malicious version 35.4.8). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in dolyame-boxy-fonts (npm)
What this malware does
On require() of dolyame-boxy-fonts, index.js unconditionally loads./loader.js, which reconstructs C2 hostnames from split-string arrays (Cloudflare Workers subdomains oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev) and a DNS-TXT fallback channel under *.dl.wel1.ru (chunk-count via c.<domain>, base64 chunks via N.<domain> retrieved through dns.resolveTxt). loader.js downloads a platform-specific binary, writes it to /tmp or %TEMP% under a hidden/decoy name (.cache<rand> or dotnet_diag<rand>.exe), chmods it 0755, and spawns it detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd.exe. The fetched bytes are opaque, unpinned, and not hash-verified, and the destination hosts are anonymous Cloudflare Workers subdomains assembled at runtime to defeat static grep. A sibling module lib/telemetry.js ships in the tarball with the same dropper primitives (require('child_' + 'process') string-split, fs['chmod' + 'Sync'], cp.spawn('/bin/sh', ['-c', filePath + ' &'])), providing an alternate execution path. Installing or requiring this package causes attacker-controlled code to execute on the installer's machine.
Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.

Detection & response playbook
Backdoor / remote accessFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for dolyame-boxy-fonts (version 35.4.8).
If you installed it — respond
dolyame-boxy-fonts 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 dolyame-boxy-fonts 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 dolyame-boxy-fonts-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the C2 callback and severs the channel.
