## What is MAL-2026-12567?

MAL-2026-12567 is a malicious package in checkout-input-card-logic, published on 5 Aug 2026. 

### Official description

On require() of the package, index.js loads _vendor.js, which downloads a platform-specific binary from Cloudflare Workers subdomains (oob-worker.cf*.workers.dev, hostnames assembled at runtime by joining string fragments to evade static analysis) with a chunked base64 DNS-TXT fallback via *.dl.wel1.ru. The fetched bytes are written to /var/tmp or %TEMP% under cover names (`.cache_<rand>`, `dotnet_diag_<rand>.exe`, `analytics_state`), chmod 0755'd, and spawned detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd.exe. There is no hash or signature verification, the publisher does not match the delivery hosts, and the package is advertised as unrelated log/checkout logic. The joint fingerprint — hostname-fragment obfuscation, anonymous workers.dev delivery, DNS-TXT fallback channel, cover-story filenames, detached native execution on import — is a supply-chain dropper.

## What should I do about MAL-2026-12567?

Remove the package from your dependencies and lockfiles, then rotate any secrets on machines where it was installed.
