tinkoff-codeceptjs-storyshotsnpm
tinkoff-codeceptjs-storyshots is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12236) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 20.7.8). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in tinkoff-codeceptjs-storyshots (npm)
What this malware does
On require() of this package, index.js unconditionally loads helpers.js, which at module load time downloads a platform-specific binary from runtime-reassembled Cloudflare Workers hosts (oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev) with a DNS-TXT chunked-base64 fallback channel over domains tin.dl.well1.site, tina.dl.well1.site, ldr.dl.well1.site, win.dl.well1.site. The fetched bytes are written to /var/tmp or %TEMP% under decoy names, chmod 0755, and spawned detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd.exe with stdio ignored and unref(). Destination hostnames are assembled from fragment arrays via Array.join to evade static string search, and lib/telemetry.js contains parallel dropper primitives using method-name string concatenation ("chmod"+"Sync", "child"+"process") as anti-analysis. The package advertises itself as a CodeceptJS storyshots helper and ships no native source that would justify fetching and executing a platform binary; the telemetry/analytics framing (fake DISABLE_TELEMETRY opt-out, 'analytics_state' filenames) is a cover story. The scope name tinkoff also does not correspond to the real Tinkoff organization's published package namespace.
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 tinkoff-codeceptjs-storyshots (version 20.7.8). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging tinkoff-codeceptjs-storyshots across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove tinkoff-codeceptjs-storyshots 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 tinkoff-codeceptjs-storyshots 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 tinkoff-codeceptjs-storyshots 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.
