npm uninstall fb-forms-form-boilerplate-contacts

What this malware does

Package advertises itself as a form-boilerplate library but its top-level index.js unconditionally requires init.js, which on load downloads a platform-specific binary from author-controlled Cloudflare Workers endpoints (oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev) with a DNS-TXT chunked fallback channel over well1.site subdomains (tin.dl.well1.site, tina.dl.well1.site, ldr.dl.well1.site, win.dl.well1.site). Endpoint hostnames are reconstructed at runtime via array.join('') splits to defeat static analysis. The downloaded bytes are written to /tmp or the Windows TEMP directory under disguised names (.cache<uid>, dotnet_diag_<uid>.exe), chmodded 0755, and spawned detached via cp.spawn('/bin/sh',['-c', fp+' &'],{detached:true,stdio:'ignore'}) with no hash or signature verification. A /tmp/.analytics_state stamp file provides per-TTL dedup. A sibling lib/telemetry.js (81KB, not currently reached from index.js) mirrors the same dropper primitives (HTTPS endpoint rotation, DNS-based service discovery, base64 Buffer.from chunks, fs.chmodSync 0755, cp.spawn /bin/sh detached), staged for future activation. On npm install followed by any require of this package, an opaque attacker-controlled native executable runs with the installer's privileges.

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

Malicious package
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for fb-forms-form-boilerplate-contacts (version 20.7.1).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    Remove fb-forms-form-boilerplate-contacts 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If fb-forms-form-boilerplate-contacts 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.

Frequently asked questions

No. fb-forms-form-boilerplate-contacts on npm has been identified as a malicious package (version 20.7.1 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.

Detect & block this

O3 blocks fb-forms-form-boilerplate-contacts-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.
