statist-browser-typed-client-social.shorts.editor is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12454) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 20.7.1). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

What this malware does

On require/import of this package, index.js unconditionally loads runtime.js, which fetches a platform-selected binary from rotating Cloudflare Workers subdomains (oob-worker.cf*.workers.dev) with a DNS-TXT chunked fallback via *.dl.well1.site, writes it to /var/tmp or %TEMP% under a disguised name (.cache<hex> on POSIX, dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe on Windows), chmods it to 0755, and spawns it detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd.exe /c start /b. Hostnames and sensitive identifiers (child_process, chmodSync) are reconstructed at runtime via string-split join and dynamic property assembly to evade static analysis. A secondary module lib/telemetry.js is framed as an analytics SDK but ships the same base64-decode + chmod-0755 + /bin/sh -c spawn dropper capability. The delivery infrastructure is anonymous, mutable, and unrelated to any legitimate publisher; the executed bytes are opaque and attacker-controlled. Installing or loading this package results in arbitrary code execution on the installer's host as a detached background process.

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 statist-browser-typed-client-social.shorts.editor (version 20.7.1). 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-social.shorts.editor across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    Remove statist-browser-typed-client-social.shorts.editor 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 statist-browser-typed-client-social.shorts.editor 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 statist-browser-typed-client-social.shorts.editor 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.
