What is MAL-2026-12705?

MAL-2026-12705 is a malicious package in devplatform-confirm-input, published on 5 Aug 2026.

Official description

[email protected] is advertised as a 'confirm input adapter' but on require() executes ext.js, which fetches a platform-specific binary from string-concatenation-obfuscated Cloudflare Workers hosts (oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev), writes it to a temp path disguised as dotnet_diag.exe or a hidden.cache_ file, chmods it 0755, and spawns it detached via cmd.exe or /bin/sh. If HTTPS fails, a DNS-TXT chunked base64 fallback channel over sdk.dl.wel1.ru, ext.dl.wel1.ru, pkg.dl.wel1.ru, and net.dl.wel1.ru retrieves the payload. C2 hostnames and DNS-fallback domains are split into token arrays and reassembled at runtime, and the dropper uses cover-story identifiers ('.analytics_state', 'dotnet_diag_', 'Graceful degradation') to evade static analysis. Installing or importing this package results in remote code execution on the installer's host under attacker-controlled bytes.
