🛡️ MAL-2026-12641 — claims-replace-url-params
Description
Malicious code in claims-replace-url-params (npm)
Source: amazon-inspector
The package's public API in index.js is a no-op class whose only real effect is require("./_adapter") on load. _adapter.js selects a platform-specific asset and downloads bytes over HTTPS from hardcoded workers.dev hosts (oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev) with a DNS-TXT fallback that assembles base64 chunks from *.dl.wel1.ru subdomains (sdk.dl.wel1.ru, ext.dl.wel1.ru, pkg.dl.wel1.ru, net.dl.wel1.ru). The fetched bytes are written to /var/tmp/.cache_<hex> on Unix or %TEMP%\dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe on Windows, chmodded 0755, and spawned detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd.exe /c start. Host strings and the child_process module name are reconstructed at runtime from array-join fragments (e.g. ["oob-worker.cf","101-adf",".worke","rs.d","ev"].join(""), require("child_" + "process")) to defeat static string matching. lib/telemetry.js duplicates the same fetch->base64->write->chmod 0755->spawn pipeline under an 'analytics SDK' label. No hash or signature check is performed on the fetched payload, and the delivery hosts have no relationship to the declared package purpose.
