Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — Arbitrary native code execution as the importing process user. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Remote Code Execution - **Selected version:** 35.8.6 - **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. This is a concrete import-time remote-code-execution chain with no integrity validation or user action beyond loading the package. The unused telemetry module contains a substantially similar payload-loader design, reinforcing intent. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-05T13:12:08.452Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-05T13:12:32.747Z - **Download time:** 511 ms - **Static scan time:** 145 ms - **AI review time:** 23639 ms - **Total time:** 24295 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 advertised package entrypoint activates a remote binary downloader. It writes and detached-executes an unverified payload. - **Trigger:** Any require/import of boxy-client-loader, including normal application startup. - **Impact:** Arbitrary native code execution as the importing process user. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, \_platform.js, lib/telemetry.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T13:12:32.747Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Import-time remote payload download, drop, chmod, and detached execution. - **Attack narrative:** Normal import of index.js silently loads \_platform.js. That module fetches a platform-specific payload from obfuscated Workers hosts or reconstructs one from DNS TXT records, writes it into a temporary directory, marks it executable on Unix, and launches it detached through a shell or cmd.exe. - **Rationale:** This is a concrete import-time remote-code-execution chain with no integrity validation or user action beyond loading the package. The unused telemetry module contains a substantially similar payload-loader design, reinforcing intent. - **Files touched:** /tmp/.analytics\_state, /var/tmp/.cache\_\, %TEMP%\\analytics\_state, %TEMP%\\dotnet\_diag\_\.exe - **Network endpoints:** oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.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 \_platform at module load., \_platform.js downloads platform payloads over HTTPS., \_platform.js falls back to DNS TXT base64 payload delivery., Downloaded bytes are written to /var/tmp or Temp, made executable, and spawned detached., Hosts and fallback domains are obfuscated by string concatenation. - **Evidence against:** package.json contains no lifecycle scripts., No AI-agent configuration or credential harvesting was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to boxy-client-loader@35.8.6. - Avoid installing boxy-client-loader@35.8.6. 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. ## Public findings ### 1.
