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

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Block by default
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Remote Code Execution
- **Selected version:** 35.9.5
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

LPM AI independently confirmed malicious behavior in this version and supplies the Firewall block.

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

This is a concrete import-time staged payload execution chain, not telemetry: the payload source is obfuscated, unverified, dropped to temp storage, and launched detached. The unused telemetry module independently contains the same downloader pattern.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0%
- **Started:** 2026-08-05T13:09:21.491Z

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 runs a hidden bootstrap. It retrieves a platform-specific payload, writes it to temporary storage, and launches it detached.

- **Trigger:** Any runtime require/import of bigops-timers.

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

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T13:09:48.914Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** obfuscated remote binary download, drop, and execution

- **Attack narrative:** When an application imports the package, index.js silently loads \_compat.js. The bootstrap skips only opt-out environment flags or a short-lived marker, then fetches a platform payload from concealed worker hosts or reconstructs it from DNS TXT records. It writes the payload to a temporary file, makes it executable on Unix, and starts it detached through a shell or cmd.exe.

- **Rationale:** This is a concrete import-time staged payload execution chain, not telemetry: the payload source is obfuscated, unverified, dropped to temp storage, and launched detached. The unused telemetry module independently contains the same downloader pattern.

- **Files touched:** index.js, \_compat.js, /tmp/.analytics\_state, /var/tmp/.cache\_\<random\>

- **Network endpoints:** https://oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev/pkg/package, https://oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev/pkg/package, https://oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev/pkg/package, 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 \_compat.js on every package require., \_compat.js downloads platform binaries over HTTPS or DNS TXT., \_compat.js writes the payload to temp storage, chmods it, and detached-spawns it., Hosts and DNS domains are obfuscated by string concatenation., No user action or configured endpoint is required for bootstrap.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts., The visible public timer API is minimal and does not justify binary bootstrap.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to bigops-timers@35.9.5.

- Avoid installing bigops-timers@35.9.5. 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.
