tinkoff-test-app-child-appnpm
tinkoff-test-app-child-app is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12282) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 20.3.8). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in tinkoff-test-app-child-app (npm)
What this malware does
On require of this package, platform.js reconstructs endpoint hostnames from split string arrays via.join(""), downloads a platform-specific binary from oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev (with a DNS TXT chunked fallback resolver at tin.dl.well1.site), writes it to /var/tmp or %TEMP% under disguised names such as.cache<hex> and dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe, invokes fs.chmodSync to set 0755, and spawns it detached via cp.spawn('/bin/sh', ['-c', filePath + ' &'], {detached:true}) or the Windows cmd equivalent. lib/telemetry.js, styled as a Sentry-like analytics SDK, bundles a parallel drop-and-execute path using the same disguised API calls (require('child_'+'process'), fs['chmod'+'Sync']) and base64-buffer construction. The destinations are not the publisher's infrastructure, the fetched bytes are not pinned or hash-verified, and identifier and env-var names such as analytics_state and telemetry opt-out flags serve as cover story for the dropper behavior.
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-test-app-child-app (version 20.3.8). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging tinkoff-test-app-child-app across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove tinkoff-test-app-child-app 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-test-app-child-app 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-test-app-child-app 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.
