statist-browser-typed-client-eventea.projects.pfpacquiringnpm
statist-browser-typed-client-eventea.projects.pfpacquiring is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12445) that typosquats a legitimate package to trick installs (malicious version 20.5.8). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in statist-browser-typed-client-eventea.projects.pfpacquiring (npm)
What this malware does
index.js unconditionally require()s bridge.js, which on load detects OS and architecture, assembles destination hostnames via array-join string concatenation to hide them from static scanners (oob-worker.cf101-*.workers.dev variants, with DNS TXT-record fallback resolution against tin.dl.well1.site, tina.dl.well1.site, ldr.dl.well1.site, win.dl.well1.site), downloads a platform-specific binary via https.get, writes it to /tmp or the Windows TEMP directory under names mimicking OS internals (dotnet_diag<hex>.exe,.cache_<hex>), fs.chmodSync 0755, and spawns it detached via /bin/sh -c "<path> &" or cmd.exe /c start. A sibling file lib/telemetry.js (not reachable from the main entry) contains matching dropper primitives — base64 chunk assembly, cp.spawn("/bin/sh",...), fs["chmod"+"Sync"] with parseInt("755",8) — under an analytics-SDK cover story, indicating a staged variant. The require() chain fires as a side effect of importing the package, so any consumer that installs and loads it executes attacker-controlled binaries on the host.
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
TyposquatFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for statist-browser-typed-client-eventea.projects.pfpacquiring (version 20.5.8). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging statist-browser-typed-client-eventea.projects.pfpacquiring across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
statist-browser-typed-client-eventea.projects.pfpacquiring is a typosquat — you almost certainly intended a legitimately-named package. Remove statist-browser-typed-client-eventea.projects.pfpacquiring, install the correct package, and rotate any secrets exposed during the install since post-install scripts may have already run.
Did it already run?
If statist-browser-typed-client-eventea.projects.pfpacquiring 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.
How O3 protects you
O3 blocks statist-browser-typed-client-eventea.projects.pfpacquiring 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.
