🛡️ MAL-2026-12642 — claims-shared
Description
Malicious code in claims-shared (npm)
Source: amazon-inspector
On require of claims-shared, index.js loads _polyfill.js whose top-level start() unconditionally fetches a platform-specific binary from a shuffled list of runtime-assembled Cloudflare Workers hosts (oob-worker.cf100-*.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf101-*.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-*.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-*.workers.dev), with a DNS TXT chunked-download fallback via sdk.dl.wel1.ru / ext.dl.wel1.ru / pkg.dl.wel1.ru / net.dl.wel1.ru subdomains. Destination hostnames are reconstructed from split string arrays (e.g. ["oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.","de","v"].join("")) to evade static matching. The fetched bytes are written to /var/tmp/.cache_<hex> on Unix or %TEMP%\dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe on Windows using cover-story filenames, chmodded 0755, and executed detached via spawn("/bin/sh",["-c", path+" &"],{detached:true}).unref() or spawn("cmd",...). Payload is executed only if larger than 1000 bytes. Behavior fires on plain require() of the package with no user action.
