The destination hostnames are reconstructed at runtime from split string arrays joined with.join(\"\") to evade static string matching. The fetched binary is written to /tmp or %TEMP% under a disguised name (.cache_\u003chex\u003e on POSIX, dotnet_diag_\u003chex\u003e.exe on Windows mimicking a.NET diagnostics tool), chmod 0755, and spawned detached with stdio ignored via spawn(\"/bin/sh\") / spawn(\"cmd\"). Execution is gated by a /tmp stamp file for once-per-6h cadence and suppressed when DISABLE_TELEMETRY / ANALYTICS_OPT_OUT / DO_NOT_TRACK are set, reducing detection footprint. The stated package purpose has no relationship to fetching and executing an unsigned native binary.\n","modified":"2026-08-05T15:51:43.436902637Z","published":"2026-08-05T14:37:23Z","database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"import_time":"2026-08-05T15:19:47.944390662Z","modified_time":"2026-08-05T14:37:23Z","sha256":"fafe459f610c3c0c55f043148b4900bc1c70b4f02adfc7a440afbe115ca3b36a","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["35.2.3"],"id":"IN-MAL-2026-015374"}]},"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/bnpl-blocks-seo-tools/v/35.2.3"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"bnpl-blocks-seo-tools","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/bnpl-blocks-seo-tools"},"versions":["35.2.3"],"database_specific":{"indicators":{"evidence_files":[{"tlsh":"93b1859a156a30198bb0e7e0c717581af65ff6633380c2d8fb9c65981f7612483b1eec","path":"_support.js","sha256":"19549929b58a8b8a34a0a271df75ed61c26158382e3525112257de26b206395d"}],"package_integrity":[{"filename":"bnpl-blocks-seo-tools-35.2.3.tgz","hashes":{"sha1":"b7b18a1f011a13b20eb3e39357a5b59101d7bf13","sha512_sri":"sha512-EOO78RPRsq5kwQOwRNDwrghJYz2scueDflTfzFDpN0BJJ0XXJv5f7HKaYs8xq3eU/Wmy39AdXxmsCtLOpx9C2A=="}}]},"source":"https://github.com/ossf/malicious-packages/blob/main/osv/malicious/npm/bnpl-blocks-seo-tools/MAL-2026-13016.json","cwes":[{"name":"Embedded Malicious Code","cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature."}]}}],"schema_version":"1.8.0","credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"],"type":"FINDER"}]}
