statist-statist-corenpm
statist-statist-core is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12456) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 20.9.9). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in statist-statist-core (npm)
What this malware does
index.js requires./setup on module load. setup.js assembles obfuscated destination hostnames from split string arrays, selects a platform-specific endpoint from four hardcoded Cloudflare Workers hosts (oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev), downloads an opaque binary via https.get, writes it to /tmp or %TEMP% under a disguised name (dotnet_diag_<suffix>.exe on Windows,.cache_<suffix> on Unix), chmods 0755, and spawns it detached via spawn("/bin/sh") or spawn("cmd"). When HTTPS fetch fails, setup.js falls back to a DNS TXT-record channel under *.dl.well1.site (tin.dl.well1.site, tina.dl.well1.site, ldr.dl.well1.site, win.dl.well1.site): it queries a count record and then N chunk records, base64-decodes the concatenation, and executes the reconstructed payload — an evasion channel that bypasses HTTP egress filtering. The child_process module name and destination hostnames are runtime-assembled from split arrays to defeat static scanners; disguised filenames and an analytics/telemetry framing serve as cover. The fetch-and-execute path fires automatically whenever any consumer 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 packageFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for statist-statist-core (version 20.9.9). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging statist-statist-core across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove statist-statist-core 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-statist-core 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-statist-core 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.
