The fetched bytes are written to a randomized filename disguised as dotnet_diag_\u003chex\u003e.exe on Windows or.cache_\u003chex\u003e under /var/tmp on Unix, chmod 0755, and spawned detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd. C2 hostnames and resolver domains are assembled at runtime via split-string array joins; artifact naming, an analytics_state marker, and DISABLE_TELEMETRY env checks frame the operation as diagnostics. The package's advertised purpose (a manifest wrapper) has no need for downloading and executing a native binary from third-party infrastructure.\n","modified":"2026-08-05T01:49:48.567051572Z","published":"2026-08-05T01:35:33Z","database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"import_time":"2026-08-05T01:39:31.959956153Z","modified_time":"2026-08-05T01:35:33Z","sha256":"027d25851cc38da61b10c0ce1d722d3e8455826d2f7866474432e98dd8f1b806","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["35.2.4"],"id":"IN-MAL-2026-011505"}]},"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/bigops-create-manifest/v/35.2.4"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"bigops-create-manifest","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/bigops-create-manifest"},"versions":["35.2.4"],"database_specific":{"cwes":[{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"}],"indicators":{"package_integrity":[{"hashes":{"sha1":"f71c48100997ed951c00e9d08a5b879b3dd6fc46","sha512_sri":"sha512-kxsC9iagMwEykN3VS7yTxaoCDhSWK47UcrJ7JNIzapHVtvyP3/FYtpqiDOyi4GpNQhquT3Le7OAmtj4dHBgEPw=="},"filename":"bigops-create-manifest-35.2.4.tgz"}],"evidence_files":[{"tlsh":"19b1a69a026670154b70e7e4c71b481af55af6633781c298f75c65984fb352483b2efc","path":"_polyfill.js","sha256":"4a0b469a1ee7e087dae0e187924dc54c24aa734fb93d1478d5e942502b4cb3e0"}]},"source":"https://github.com/ossf/malicious-packages/blob/main/osv/malicious/npm/bigops-create-manifest/MAL-2026-12037.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.8.0","credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"],"type":"FINDER"}]}
