## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — Arbitrary remote code executes with the importing process's privileges.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Remote Code Execution
- **Selected version:** 35.8.7
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

Direct source inspection confirms reachable import-time remote payload execution, not merely telemetry behavior. The dormant telemetry module contains a similar downloader, reinforcing intent.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0%
- **Started:** 2026-08-05T16:53:23.832Z
- **Finished:** 2026-08-05T16:53:56.786Z
- **Download time:** 506 ms
- **Static scan time:** 27 ms

The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Importing the package silently fetches a platform-specific payload and executes it detached. A DNS TXT fallback can supply the executable when HTTPS retrieval fails.

- **Trigger:** Any runtime require/import of the package main entrypoint.

- **Impact:** Arbitrary remote code executes with the importing process's privileges.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, \_bootstrap.js, lib/telemetry.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T16:53:56.786Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** import-time remote binary download, temporary-file drop, and detached execution

- **Attack narrative:** The main module suppresses errors while loading \_bootstrap.js. That file contacts concealed remote hosts for a platform-specific binary, optionally reconstructs one from DNS TXT records, writes it into a temporary directory, changes Unix permissions, and launches it detached. This is an unconsented import-time staged remote-code-execution chain.

- **Rationale:** Direct source inspection confirms reachable import-time remote payload execution, not merely telemetry behavior. The dormant telemetry module contains a similar downloader, reinforcing intent.

- **Files touched:** index.js, \_bootstrap.js, /tmp/.analytics\_state, /var/tmp/.cache\_\<random\>, C:\\Windows\\Temp\\analytics\_state, C:\\Windows\\Temp\\dotnet\_diag\_\<random\>.exe

- **Network endpoints:** oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, sdk.dl.wel1.ru, ext.dl.wel1.ru, pkg.dl.wel1.ru, net.dl.wel1.ru

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for block:** index.js imports \_bootstrap.js on every package import., \_bootstrap.js downloads platform binaries from obfuscated workers.dev hosts., It falls back to DNS TXT payload retrieval via dl.wel1.ru domains., Downloaded data is written to a temp file, made executable, and detached-spawned via shell/cmd., No lifecycle hook is needed: requiring the main entrypoint triggers the chain.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no npm lifecycle scripts., The documented API is minimal, but it does not explain the import-time bootstrapper.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to bigops-notes@35.8.7.

- Avoid installing bigops-notes@35.8.7. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies.
- Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe.
- If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment.
