What is MAL-2026-12921?

MAL-2026-12921 is a malicious package in bnpl-blocks-desktop-bnpl-feedback, published on 5 Aug 2026.

Official description

index.js require()s./init on load. init.js downloads a platform-specific binary from string-split-obfuscated Cloudflare Workers hosts (oob-worker.cf101-.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-*.workers.dev) via https.get, writes it to /var/tmp or %TEMP% under a disguised name (dotnet_diag<rand>.exe on Windows,.cache<rand> on Linux/macOS), chmods it 0755, and spawns it detached via cp.spawn('/bin/sh',['-c', fp+' &']) or spawn('cmd',…). A DNS-TXT covert-channel fallback resolves chunked base64 payloads from *.dl.wel1.ru (sdk.dl.wel1.ru, ext.dl.wel1.ru, pkg.dl.wel1.ru, net.dl.wel1.ru) via dns.resolveTxt, reassembles them, writes and executes the reconstructed buffer. Destination hostnames are assembled at runtime via Array.join from split fragments to evade static analysis, no version pin, no hash or signature verification, and a TTL marker suppresses re-execution. Full remote code execution on the installer's host fires at module load.
