Description
The npm package cardsmobile-command-utils version 35.9.2 contains malicious code that downloads and executes a binary from attacker-controlled Cloudflare Workers subdomains. The binary is saved with decoy filenames mimicking .NET diagnostics/cache files and executed detached from the main process. If HTTPS downloads fail, the package uses a covert DNS TXT record channel to retrieve and execute payloads without signature verification. The loader also suppresses activity on researcher machines by honoring DO_NOT_TRACK flags.
