Every version was published to cause harm.\n\nTask:\n1. Search this repository's dependency manifests and lockfiles for the package, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If it is present, remove it, regenerate the lockfile with the project's package manager, and replace whatever it was used for.\n3. List any CI runners, developer machines or containers that installed it, so their secrets can be rotated.\n4.

If the HTTPS fetch fails, the loader queries DNS TXT records at c.\u003cdomain\u003e for a chunk count and then j.\u003cdomain\u003e to reassemble a base64-encoded payload, providing a covert delivery channel that bypasses HTTP egress filters. The child_process module name and destination hostnames are both split and joined at runtime to evade static analysis, and a cover-story 'analytics_state' / 'DISABLE_TELEMETRY' TTL marker is used to disguise intent. This behavior fires automatically on module load with no relation to any advertised package purpose.","ecosystems":["npm"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":null,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":null,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":null,"nuclei":null,"refs":[],"tier":null},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Malicious code in bnpl-blocks-desktop-bnpl-reviews (npm)","id":"MAL-2026-12938","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"malicious","links":{"ecosystem":"npm","product":null,"products":[],"type":null,"year":"2026"},"n_packages":1,"n_references":null,"packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":[],"introduced":[],"last_affected":[],"package":"bnpl-blocks-desktop-bnpl-reviews","purl":"pkg:npm/bnpl-blocks-desktop-bnpl-reviews","source":"MAL-2026-12938"}],"products":null,"published":"2026-08-05","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"Apache-2.0","name":"OpenSSF Malicious Packages","prefix":"MAL"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":null,"updated":null,"vendors":null},"summary":null,"url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-12938/"}
