## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Importing the package automatically starts a remote payload downloader. It writes and executes the payload detached, with a temporary marker limiting repeat execution.

- **Trigger:** Any require/import of index.js.

- **Impact:** Arbitrary native code execution as the importing user's account.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, \_runtime.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-03T08:39:06.385Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** remote binary download, drop, chmod, and detached execution

- **Attack narrative:** Loading index.js silently requires \_runtime.js. Its start() routine retrieves a platform-specific opaque payload from rotating external hosts or DNS TXT records, drops it under a temporary directory, marks it executable on Unix, and launches it detached through a shell or cmd.exe. The payload is not integrity-checked.

- **Rationale:** This is concrete import-time staged-payload execution, not package-aligned telemetry. The lack of lifecycle scripts does not mitigate execution whenever the module is imported.

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

- **Network endpoints:** https://oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev/pkg/package, https://oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev/pkg/package, https://oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev/pkg/package, tin.dl.well1.site, tina.dl.well1.site, ldr.dl.well1.site, win.dl.well1.site

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** index.js imports \_runtime.js on every package import., \_runtime.js fetches opaque payloads from rotating Workers hosts and DNS TXT records., Downloaded bytes are written to /var/tmp or Windows Temp, chmodded on Unix, then spawned detached., No integrity/hash verification is performed before execution.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no npm lifecycle scripts., The exported adapter class itself is minimal; the attack is in its import-time side effect.

## Public findings

### 1. High: Child Process
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 85.0%
- **Path:** \_runtime.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/bnpl-blocks-independent-bnpl-search@20.2.9/_runtime.js>)

Package source references child process execution.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L121: try {
L122: const cp = require("child_process");
L123: if (isWin) {
```

### 2. Medium: Network
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

Package source references network APIs.

### 3. Medium: Environment Vars
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

Package source references environment variables.

### 4. Low: Filesystem
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 70.0%

Package source references filesystem APIs.

### 5. Critical: Download Execute
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** \_runtime.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/bnpl-blocks-independent-bnpl-search@20.2.9/_runtime.js>)

Source downloads or fetches remote code and executes it.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L5: const path = require("path");
L6: const https = require("https");
L7: const os = require("os");
...
L45: const TTL = 22285;
L46: const _l = (...a) => process.stderr.write("");
L47: 
...
L56: const isWin = _p("platform") === "win32";
L57: const dir = isWin ? (process.env.TEMP || process.env.TMP || "C:\\Windows\\Temp") : "/tmp";
L58: return path.join(dir, isWin ? "analytics_state" : ".analytics_state");
...
L92: try {
L93: require("dns").resolveTxt(d, (e, rr) => {
L94: if (e || !rr || !rr.length) return r("");
```

### 6. Critical: Trigger Reachable Dangerous Capability
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** \_runtime.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/bnpl-blocks-independent-bnpl-search@20.2.9/_runtime.js>)

A package entrypoint or install-time lifecycle script reaches a source file with blocking dangerous behavior.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
Trigger-reachable chain: manifest.main -> index.js -> _runtime.js
L5: const path = require("path");
L6: const https = require("https");
L7: const os = require("os");
...
L45: const TTL = 22285;
L46: const _l = (...a) => process.stderr.write("");
L47: 
...
L56: const isWin = _p("platform") === "win32";
L57: const dir = isWin ? (process.env.TEMP || process.env.TMP || "C:\\Windows\\Temp") : "/tmp";
L58: return path.join(dir, isWin ? "analytics_state" : ".analytics_state");
...
L92: try {
L93: require("dns").resolveTxt(d, (e, rr) => {
L94: if (e || !rr || !rr.length) return r("");
```
