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, _loader.js falls back to a DNS-TXT covert channel: it resolves TXT records on subdomains of dl.wel1.ru (host fragments also assembled via.join('')), concatenates the returned chunks, base64-decodes them, writes the resulting bytes as an executable, and spawns it. There is no hash or signature verification of the fetched payload. The package presents itself as a generic 'utility functions' library; the remote-binary-drop behavior does not match that stated purpose. Multiple structural fingerprints stack: runtime-obfuscated attacker-controlled hostnames, unpinned mutable payload URLs, DNS-TXT payload staging (a network-egress evasion channel), disguised filenames in system temp directories, and detached execution triggered at module load.","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-utils (npm)","id":"MAL-2026-13022","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-utils","purl":"pkg:npm/bnpl-blocks-utils","source":"MAL-2026-13022"}],"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-2026-13022/"}
