# MAL-2026-13131: Malicious code in dolyame-boxy-stories (npm) - **Type:** Malicious package - **Package:** `dolyame-boxy-stories` (npm) - **Published:** 5 Aug 2026 ## What is MAL-2026-13131? MAL-2026-13131 is a malicious package in dolyame-boxy-stories, published on 5 Aug 2026. ### Official description On require, index.js loads _bridge.js which selects a platform-specific endpoint and downloads a binary from one of three attacker-controlled hosts whose names are reconstructed at runtime via string.join() to evade static detection (oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev), with a DNS TXT-record fallback under sdk.dl.wel1.ru. The fetched bytes are written to /var/tmp or %TEMP% under disguised filenames (.cache_ on Unix, dotnet_diag_.exe on Windows), chmod 0755, and spawned detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd /c start. A marker file.analytics_state and opt-out env vars DISABLE_TELEMETRY / ANALYTICS_OPT_OUT provide cover-story naming; the package's declared purpose is unrelated to any telemetry or analytics function, and the default code path executes the remote binary. This is a load-time full-host RCE dropper. ## What should I do about MAL-2026-13131? Remove the package from your dependencies and lockfiles, then rotate any secrets on machines where it was installed. ## Fix prompt for AI coding agents ```text MAL-2026-13131 is a malicious package: dolyame-boxy-stories (npm).
