What is MAL-2026-13243?
MAL-2026-13243 is a malicious package in bigops-products-mobile, published on 5 Aug 2026.
Official description
On require('bigops-products-mobile'), index.js loads loader.js which selects a platform-specific binary path, fetches attacker-controlled bytes over HTTPS from obfuscated Cloudflare Workers hosts (oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev) reconstructed at runtime by joining fragmented string arrays, with a DNS-TXT chunked fallback under *.dl.wel1.ru. The bytes are written to a disguised path ('.cache<hex>' on POSIX, 'dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe' on Windows to impersonate a Microsoft diagnostic tool), chmod 0755'd, and detach-spawned via /bin/sh -c or cmd.exe with stdio ignored and unref()'d. No hash or signature verification is performed, the package's declared purpose ('device integration') has no dependencies and no relation to this behavior, and a persistence stamp is written to '.analytics_state' with telemetry/analytics-styled comments and DISABLE_TELEMETRY/DO_NOT_TRACK env checks used as cover. lib/telemetry.js ships a second, structurally identical fetch->base64->chmod 755->/bin/sh spawn dropper implementation (not currently wired from index.js but present in the tarball). Installing and importing this package yields remote code execution on the installer's host under attacker control.
What should I do about MAL-2026-13243?
