It silently retrieves, drops, and detached-executes a platform-specific native payload. - **Trigger:** Any runtime require/import of bigops-utils through index.js. - **Impact:** Arbitrary attacker-controlled native code can execute under the importing process account. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, \_helpers.js, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-06T01:33:44.775Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** obfuscated remote binary download, temp-file drop, and detached execution - **Attack narrative:** A normal import invokes \_helpers.js. Unless opt-out variables or a temporary cooldown file intervene, it selects an OS-specific endpoint, downloads a payload from rotating Workers hosts, or reconstructs one from DNS TXT records. It writes the resulting bytes to a randomized temp filename, marks it executable on Unix, and starts it detached through /bin/sh or cmd.exe, leaving the downloaded program to run independently. - **Rationale:** This is concrete, undisclosed import-time remote payload execution, not telemetry aligned with a small utility package. The absence of lifecycle scripts does not mitigate the reachable malicious entrypoint. - **Files touched:** index.js, \_helpers.js - **Network endpoints:** oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-070.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:** index.js imports \_helpers.js on every package import., \_helpers.js downloads platform-specific binary payloads over HTTPS or DNS TXT., \_helpers.js writes payloads to temp storage, chmods Unix payloads, and launches them detached via shell/cmd., Remote hosts are obfuscated through string concatenation and rotated randomly., The generic utilities README does not disclose this import-time binary execution. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts., No AI-agent configuration or credential-harvesting code was confirmed. ## Public findings ### 1.
