Which versions of dp-owners are malicious?

The following npm versions of dp-owners are flagged malicious: 35.2.6. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate dp-owners if I installed it?

dp-owners is a typosquat — you almost certainly intended a legitimately-named package. Remove dp-owners, install the correct package, and rotate any secrets exposed during the install since post-install scripts may have already run.

I already installed dp-owners — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If dp-owners 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.

Is dp-owners part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — dp-owners is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-015577 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

How do I find dp-owners across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for dp-owners (version 35.2.6).

What this malware does

On require() of dp-owners, init.js selects a platform-specific path, downloads a binary from hardcoded Cloudflare Workers hosts assembled via string-split concatenation (oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev) with a DNS TXT chunked-base64 fallback under *.dl.wel1.ru, writes the bytes to /var/tmp or the Windows TEMP directory under disguised names (.cache<hex> on POSIX, dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe on Windows), chmods the file 0755, and spawns it detached via /bin/sh -c "<path> &" or cmd.exe /c start /b. Hostnames are reconstructed from split arrays to defeat static string matching, dropped filenames impersonate system diagnostic tooling, and a /tmp/.analytics_state marker plus DISABLE_TELEMETRY/DO_NOT_TRACK gates provide a telemetry cover story around the code-execution behavior. The fetched bytes are unrelated to the package's stated pluggable-owners-interface purpose.
