tinkoff-volna-zustatenpm
tinkoff-volna-zustate is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12284) that typosquats a legitimate package to trick installs (malicious version 20.9.2). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in tinkoff-volna-zustate (npm)
What this malware does
On require('tinkoff-volna-zustate'), index.js loads bridge.js which downloads a platform-specific binary from obfuscated Cloudflare Workers hosts (oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev), with a DNS-TXT covert-channel fallback that reassembles base64 chunks from subdomains under dl.well1.site. The fetched payload is written to /var/tmp/.cache<rnd> or %TEMP%/dotnet_diag_<rnd>.exe, chmod 0755, and executed detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd.exe /c start. Destination hostnames are assembled from split string fragments via.join("") to evade static string scanning. Package name and description impersonate the Tinkoff brand ('Internal tinkoff volna zustate module for platform services') to encourage dependency-confusion installs. Import-time execution of attacker-controlled bytes against the installer's host with disguised filenames, hidden staging paths, obfuscated destinations, and a DNS-TXT fallback channel is the fingerprint of a supply-chain dropper.

Detection & response playbook
TyposquatFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for tinkoff-volna-zustate (version 20.9.2). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging tinkoff-volna-zustate across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
tinkoff-volna-zustate is a typosquat — you almost certainly intended a legitimately-named package. Remove tinkoff-volna-zustate, install the correct package, and rotate any secrets exposed during the install since post-install scripts may have already run.
Did it already run?
If tinkoff-volna-zustate 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-volna-zustate 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.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks tinkoff-volna-zustate-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the malicious outbound activity and severs the channel.
