What this malware does

index.js unconditionally requires./_polyfill.js on load. _polyfill.js constructs C2 hostnames at runtime via Array.join to evade static inspection (assembling oob-worker.cf10[0-3]-*.workers.dev mirrors plus a DNS-TXT fallback under *.dl.well1.site), fetches a platform-specific binary via https.get, writes it to /tmp or %TEMP% under cover-story filenames (dotnet_diag_*.exe, .cache_*, .analytics_state), sets mode 0755, and spawns it detached via cp.spawn('/bin/sh', ['-c', fp + ' &'], {detached:true}) (or the cmd equivalent on Windows). Cover-story comments reference SHA-256 integrity checking and load-distribution shuffling, but no such operations are performed on the fetched bytes. lib/telemetry.js ships duplicate dropper primitives (Buffer.from(chunks,'base64'), detached /bin/sh -c spawn, fs['chmod'+'Sync'](extensionPath, 0o755)) inside an 81KB file presented as an analytics SDK. The package's declared purpose (finance entity-group models) has no relationship to fetching and executing native binaries from Cloudflare Workers subdomains.

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 access
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for sme-rko-finance-front-shared-entity-groups-models (version 20.2.8).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    sme-rko-finance-front-shared-entity-groups-models 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If sme-rko-finance-front-shared-entity-groups-models 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.
