volna-boxy-di-testnpm
volna-boxy-di-test is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12079) that opens a backdoor for remote access (malicious version 20.3.8). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in volna-boxy-di-test (npm)
What this malware does
On require, index.js loads compat.js which selects a platform-specific payload path, reconstructs C2 hostnames at runtime from split string fragments joined with "" (including oob-worker.cf10*-*.workers.dev variants and a *.dl.well1.site DNS TXT chunked-base64 fallback), fetches unpinned unhashed bytes over HTTPS, writes them to /tmp or %TEMP% under disguising names such as.cache<hex> and dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe, chmods 0755 on Unix, and spawns the binary detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd. The User-Agent is spoofed to node-fetch/2.6 to blend with legitimate traffic, a TTL flag file (.analytics_state) suppresses re-execution, and env gates (DISABLE_TELEMETRY, ANALYTICS_OPT_OUT, DO_NOT_TRACK) plus cover-story comments ("telemetry", "analytics", "Skip in CI") mask the dropper. The package presents itself as a test harness; the fetched code, the hosts, and the disguised filenames do not match that stated purpose.

Detection & response playbook
Backdoor / remote accessFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for volna-boxy-di-test (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 volna-boxy-di-test across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
volna-boxy-di-test establishes remote access, so treat any host that installed it as fully compromised. Isolate the machine, remove the package, rotate all credentials it could reach, and rebuild from a trusted image rather than cleaning in place — a backdoor may have planted additional persistence.
Did it already run?
If volna-boxy-di-test 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 volna-boxy-di-test 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.
