What is MAL-2026-12911?

MAL-2026-12911 is a malicious package in bnpl-blocks-desktop-bnpl-action-panel, published on 5 Aug 2026.

Official description

On require() of the package's main entry, _compat.js reconstructs Cloudflare Workers hostnames (oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev) from split string fragments joined at runtime, downloads a platform-specific binary via https.get, writes it to a temp path disguised as a system file (.cache_<hex> on unix, dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe on Windows), chmods it 0755, and spawns it detached via /bin/sh -c on unix or cmd /c start /b on Windows. If the HTTPS fetch fails, the code falls back to a DNS-over-TXT channel querying chunked TXT records under sdk.dl.wel1.ru / ext.dl.wel1.ru / pkg.dl.wel1.ru / net.dl.wel1.ru, base64-decodes the concatenated chunks, and uses the result as the executable payload. The child_process module is likewise obtained via require("child_"+"process") in a sibling telemetry file, and cover-story comments label the behavior as analytics/telemetry. The runtime string reconstruction of destinations, disguised filenames, detached-spawn pattern, and DNS-TXT egress-bypass channel are consistent with a load-time remote code execution dropper against any host that installs or imports this package.
