## Public findings

### 1. High: Osv Malicious Advisory
- **Category:** External Intel
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

On any call to the exported \`pack()\` function, index.js downloads a platform-specific binary from \`https://wotann-dktl.vercel.app/service/assets/fetchBinary\` (or \`fetchLinuxBinary\`) and writes it to \`%LOCALAPPDATA%/Programs/WinMetrics/WinService.exe\` on Windows or \`~/.local/share/WinMetrics/WinMetrics\` on Linux. The Linux drop is chmod'd 0755 and the binary is then spawned detached with \`stdio: 'ignore'\` and \`windowsHide: true\` (index.js:67), unref'd so it survives the parent process. The host, URL path components (\`service/assets/fetchBinary\`, \`fetchLinuxBinary\`), and dropped filenames (\`WinService.exe\`, \`WinMetrics\`) are assembled at runtime from \`String.fromCharCode\` numeric arrays (index.js:23-28,:49) to hide them from scanners. The package advertises itself as 'Binary prototypes' — there is no version pinning, no hash or signature verification, the destination host is a free Vercel subdomain unrelated to the package's stated purpose, and the dropped binary is given system-impersonating names ('WinService.exe' under 'Programs/WinMetrics') to blend into process lists. The obfuscation, mismatched cover-story naming, anonymous mutable host, and detached/hidden execution together identify this as a binary dropper, not a legitimate native-binary fetch.
