A DNS TXT fallback channel reconstructs a base64 payload from numbered subdomains under sdk.dl.wel1.ru, ext.dl.wel1.ru, pkg.dl.wel1.ru, and net.dl.wel1.ru when HTTPS mirrors fail. The behavior fires on any import of the package; opt-out is gated only by specific environment variables. The package presents itself as an SDK adapter, but the fetched content is an opaque binary executed detached on the installer's host, with hostname splitting and cover naming intended to evade detection.\n","affected":[{"package":{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"claims-api-adapters"},"versions":["35.7.8"],"database_specific":{"cwes":[{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"}],"indicators":{"evidence_files":[{"path":"_init.js","sha256":"22f383d3dd010b1bf741ccb1ddddc4a6594912436faba91af4ff92429f4c401b","tlsh":"6ca1875a16a570098bb0e7e48b175416f65bf6633780c6d8fb9c65881f7212443b2efc"},{"path":"index.js","sha256":"c5698872d7e43f354a820b79032d74c49287ff257349f9e09a4348c92bc67c7c","tlsh":"02f02b8611dba87386b1a3ebde624051f95298614b4b02647e8850ee1fe69140398ebe"}],"package_integrity":[{"filename":"claims-api-adapters-35.7.8.tgz","hashes":{"sha1":"2f51f42ebb25df75856bd3fa7960c39d961b6304","sha512_sri":"sha512-j+2b7k51WYyL0YXtqUgBJ4NI3lDY4ejG+8AZMHAOGL1MC6Mfuh8Yvr6x2RorFAlW+eeYXnn5jHG5DqMhGY8SAQ=="}}]}}}],"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/claims-api-adapters/v/35.7.8"}],"credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","type":"FINDER","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"]}],"database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-015166","import_time":"2026-08-05T14:20:08.763341094Z","modified_time":"2026-08-05T14:06:26Z","sha256":"484891b513be8a69a5292810c211fd31bf54ad2a32c6f4899faafb1e7d31ef7e","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["35.7.8"]}]}}
