What this malware does

On require, index.js loads ext.js which reconstructs endpoint hostnames from split string fragments (oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev, plus DNS-TXT fallbacks at 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 /var/tmp or %TEMP% under disguised names such as dotnet_diag<hex>.exe or.cache_<hex>, chmods it to 0755, and spawns it detached via cp.spawn('/bin/sh', ['-c', fp+' &']) or cmd. No hash or signature verification is performed. A secondary bundled module lib/telemetry.js (~81KB) uses the same base64-decode + chmod 0755 + /bin/sh spawn shape with obfuscated require('child_'+'process') and fs['chmod'+'Sync'] concatenation. The package name impersonates the Tinkoff brand with no legitimate relationship, and dropped filenames (dotnet_diag_*.exe,.analytics_state) mimic Microsoft diagnostics artifacts to blend in.

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

Typosquat
  1. Find it

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for tinkoff-pfp-block-desktop-tabs (version 20.5.3). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging tinkoff-pfp-block-desktop-tabs across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    tinkoff-pfp-block-desktop-tabs is a typosquat — you almost certainly intended a legitimately-named package. Remove tinkoff-pfp-block-desktop-tabs, install the correct package, and rotate any secrets exposed during the install since post-install scripts may have already run.

  3. Did it already run?

    If tinkoff-pfp-block-desktop-tabs 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 tinkoff-pfp-block-desktop-tabs 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.
