Description

The npm package statist-browser-typed-client-mb.product.payments version 20.1.9 contains malicious code that downloads and executes opaque native binaries from obfuscated Cloudflare Workers hosts and via DNS TXT records. The package acts as a native dropper, writing and executing files with deceptive names without any integrity verification. This behavior is unrelated to the package's advertised payment functionality and uses covert channels to bypass egress restrictions. Any system with this package installed should be considered fully compromised.

Impact

Systems with this package installed or running are considered fully compromised. The malicious payload can execute arbitrary native code, potentially allowing attackers full control over the affected system. Any secrets or keys stored on the compromised machine should be considered exposed and require immediate rotation. Removing the package alone may not eliminate all malicious components due to the potential for persistent backdoors or additional malware installed by the dropper.

Defensive guidance

Immediate removal of the statist-browser-typed-client-mb.product.payments package version 20.1.9 is recommended. All secrets and keys stored on the affected system should be rotated from a separate, uncompromised machine. Due to the high likelihood of full system compromise, a full forensic investigation and system rebuild may be necessary to ensure complete remediation.

Summary

The npm package statist-browser-typed-client-mb.product.payments version 20.1.9 includes malicious code that, upon require(), loads a bootstrap script which dynamically constructs hostnames to download a native binary payload from Cloudflare Workers. If HTTPS download fails, it retrieves base64-encoded payload fragments via DNS TXT records from a covert domain. The payload is written to temporary files with misleading names and executed detached from the parent process without signature or hash verification. This package masquerades as a payment client but functions as a native dropper, potentially granting full system compromise.
