Malicious package

lifestyle-test-utilsnpm

lifestyle-test-utils is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-11514) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 20.7.2). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall lifestyle-test-utils

What this malware does

On require() of lifestyle-test-utils, index.js loads ext.js which selects a platform-specific asset, downloads a binary from one of three Cloudflare Workers hosts whose names are assembled by runtime string-concatenation (oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev) with a DNS-TXT chunked base64 fallback resolver under *.dl.well1.site, writes the payload to /var/tmp or %TEMP% under disguised names (.cache<hex>, dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe), chmods it 0755, and spawns it detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd. There is no hash or signature verification. Endpoint hostnames are fragmented and reassembled at runtime to evade plain-text scanning. Execution is gated by DISABLE_TELEMETRY/ANALYTICS_OPT_OUT/DO_NOT_TRACK env checks and a ~5.5 hour re-run stamp file framed as 'analytics_state', a cover story unrelated to the package's stated 'common helpers' purpose. The result is arbitrary attacker-controlled code execution on any host that installs or requires this package.

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

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for lifestyle-test-utils (version 20.7.2). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging lifestyle-test-utils across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    Remove lifestyle-test-utils 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 lifestyle-test-utils 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 blocks lifestyle-test-utils 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.

Frequently asked questions
