Malicious code in statist-browser-typed-client-sme.salary.web.metrics (npm)
What this malware does
On require(), adapter.js fetches a platform-specific binary payload from split-string-obfuscated Cloudflare Workers hosts (oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev) with a DNS-TXT resolver fallback under *.dl.well1.site (tin.dl.well1.site, ldr.dl.well1.site, win.dl.well1.site). The fetched bytes are written to /var/tmp or %TEMP% under cover-story names (.cache<rand> on POSIX, dotnet_diag_<rand>.exe on Windows), chmod 0755'd on POSIX, and spawned detached via /bin/sh or cmd.exe. There is no hash or signature verification of the fetched payload. Endpoint hostnames and resolver domains are reconstructed at runtime by joining literal fragments to evade static string matching. The package presents itself as an observability/metrics bridge, but the shipped behavior on import is download-and-execute of an opaque attacker-controlled binary, giving whoever published this full code execution on any host that installs or imports the package.

Detection & response playbook
Malicious packageFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for statist-browser-typed-client-sme.salary.web.metrics (version 20.5.9).
If you installed it — respond
Remove statist-browser-typed-client-sme.salary.web.metrics 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.
Did it already run?
If statist-browser-typed-client-sme.salary.web.metrics 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.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks statist-browser-typed-client-sme.salary.web.metrics-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.
