The hostnames are reassembled at runtime from string arrays via.join('') to evade static matching. The fetched bytes are written to /var/tmp or %TEMP% under disguised names such as.cache_\u003chex\u003e or dotnet_diag_\u003chex\u003e.exe, chmodded 0755, and spawned detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd. The package advertises itself as a file-handler abstraction; the delivered payload is unrelated native code from author-controlled infrastructure, executed automatically when the module is required.\n","modified":"2026-08-05T16:50:02.556981206Z","published":"2026-08-05T15:37:01Z","database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["35.9.2"],"id":"IN-MAL-2026-015767","import_time":"2026-08-05T16:13:42.924541564Z","modified_time":"2026-08-05T15:37:01Z","sha256":"9c423840bea5711af66c8f9c24eca1c406a4fa929dc6b9e9d947ec71ea5adc39"}]},"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/bigops-opening-file-handler/v/35.9.2"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"bigops-opening-file-handler","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/bigops-opening-file-handler"},"versions":["35.9.2"],"database_specific":{"cwes":[{"description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code","cweId":"CWE-506"}],"indicators":{"evidence_files":[{"tlsh":"9bb1765a16a670184f70e7e4c61b4816f66bf6633680c2c4fb9ca5945f7352882b2efc","path":"_support.js","sha256":"e493e0d9ef8be2aa73b7bbc3cfc455833b14d698185fb57b3488952a2f0da170"}],"package_integrity":[{"filename":"bigops-opening-file-handler-35.9.2.tgz","hashes":{"sha512_sri":"sha512-FAufdbwSiu4n8T7gTgkk7n0ACacR2FEsnBzGVz+5R2rC2cvyMKHOG75ZYpFga5P2PbHt+8BV92090sWbRAkvqw==","sha1":"f21da25e4bcdf29428eed451a402d6f8236f620a"}}]},"source":"https://github.com/ossf/malicious-packages/blob/main/osv/malicious/npm/bigops-opening-file-handler/MAL-2026-13229.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.8.0","credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"],"type":"FINDER"}]}
