twork-data-services-aggregator-sme-task-infonpm

Advisory published Updated

twork-data-services-aggregator-sme-task-info is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12288) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 20.3.1). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall twork-data-services-aggregator-sme-task-info

What this malware does

On require of this package, index.js loads runtime.js which asynchronously fetches a platform-specific binary from string-concatenation-obfuscated hosts (oob-worker.cf100-cf103-*.workers.dev, with a DNS-TXT chunked base64 fallback via tin/tina/ldr/win.dl.well1.site), writes it to /tmp as.cache<rand> or to %TEMP% as dotnet_diag_<rand>.exe, chmods it 755, and spawns it detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd.exe /c start. Destination hostnames and DNS resolvers are assembled at runtime via.join() over split string fragments to evade static inspection. No hash or signature verification is performed on the fetched bytes. A second, functionally equivalent dropper is shipped in lib/telemetry.js (mislabeled 'Analytics SDK'): base64 chunk reassembly, split-string require("child_"+"process"), fs["chmod"+"Sync"](path, 0o755), and cp.spawn("/bin/sh", ["-c", filePath+" &"], {detached:true}). Package name masquerades as an enterprise data-services utility; behavior is a load-time remote-code-execution dropper.

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 package
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for twork-data-services-aggregator-sme-task-info (version 20.3.1).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    Remove twork-data-services-aggregator-sme-task-info 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If twork-data-services-aggregator-sme-task-info was installed, its post-install payload may already have run. Removing the package does not undo that — check outbound connections and credential use from the install window onward.

Frequently asked questions

No. twork-data-services-aggregator-sme-task-info on npm has been identified as a malicious package (version 20.3.1 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.

Detect & block this

O3 blocks twork-data-services-aggregator-sme-task-info-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.
