If HTTPS retrieval fails, a DNS-TXT covert channel under sdk.dl.wel1.ru / ext.dl.wel1.ru / pkg.dl.wel1.ru / net.dl.wel1.ru reassembles a base64-encoded binary from numbered TXT records and executes it the same way. lib/telemetry.js also loads child_process via `require(\"child_\"+\"process\")` to evade static scanners. The package has no legitimate functionality; its only on-load effect is running an opaque attacker-controlled binary on the installer's host.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (7fbe1d12c0d2de7bf53cba5a61e26fbbfcf66ea9dec49d0f0dfbdd1d8a12fbf3)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.\n","affected":[{"package":{"name":"bnpl-api","ecosystem":"npm"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["35.9.5"],"database_specific":{"cwes":[{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"},{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"}],"indicators":{"evidence_files":[{"path":"_support.js","sha256":"cc840ab5492ae44484aeb22a4245a0609d2cc8bb8a3bc54d3be8db805530ffd2","tlsh":"c0a1b69616aa30198bb097e4870b5416f6abe6633380c6d4fb5cb5d41f771288372efc"},{"path":"package.json","sha256":"bd4c9e83a113be7657c2a9e12740bad1f8532dcd05092df48f92bb2805055424","tlsh":"0dc08c220621763358b852a0ad7a455b36a30f1f20b5ac1a37b7202800e6ab20cfd712"}],"package_integrity":[{"filename":"bnpl-api-35.9.5.tgz","hashes":{"sha1":"a1f6a2cc36dea8f5ccc78f2aa9a7ed4a817f9f99","sha512_sri":"sha512-qCga5I5CH4+lMOY64I7IxVsCeyJV43/TIj7NyA3o/VgFVDJit5+BHGof1Ld/9b3QHfDc1ZxUCUfDcq/+pIIOFg=="}}]}}}],"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/bnpl-api/v/35.9.5"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-fgxc-644c-34qm"}],"database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-015520","import_time":"2026-08-05T15:19:55.828299872Z","modified_time":"2026-08-05T14:58:50Z","sha256":"2eda2ee8ac0f1ffdce814e7ca4bb7e1c1ca52beebb7048b18a64d8e13e87abf4","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["35.9.5"]},{"id":"GHSA-fgxc-644c-34qm","import_time":"2026-08-06T00:58:53.365035835Z","modified_time":"2026-08-05T18:51:40Z","ranges":[{"events":[{"introduced":"0"}],"type":"SEMVER"}],"sha256":"7fbe1d12c0d2de7bf53cba5a61e26fbbfcf66ea9dec49d0f0dfbdd1d8a12fbf3","source":"ghsa-malware"}]},"credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"],"type":"FINDER"}]}
