## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — Arbitrary remote code executes under the importing process account.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Remote Code Execution
- **Selected version:** 35.2.3
- **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 disguised as telemetry and unrelated to the published adapter API. No lifecycle hook is needed because ordinary package consumption activates it.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0%
- **Started:** 2026-08-05T17:55:01.912Z

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 triggers a hidden downloader. It retrieves a remote or DNS-encoded binary, writes it to a temporary path, and runs it detached.

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

- **Impact:** Arbitrary remote code executes under the importing process account.

- **Evidence paths:** index.js, setup.js, package.json, README.md, lib/telemetry.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T17:55:27.540Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Import-time remote payload download, drop, and execution

- **Attack narrative:** A normal require of index.js silently loads setup.js. That module fetches a platform-specific binary from rotating external hosts or decodes one from DNS TXT records, stores it in a temporary directory, marks it executable on Unix, and starts it detached through a shell or cmd.exe. The marker only rate-limits execution and does not provide consent or verification.

- **Rationale:** This is a concrete import-time remote code execution chain disguised as telemetry and unrelated to the published adapter API. No lifecycle hook is needed because ordinary package consumption activates it.

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

- **Network endpoints:** oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf101-adf.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 ./setup on every package import., setup.js downloads platform binaries from oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev and fallback hosts., setup.js reconstructs payloads from DNS TXT under \*.dl.wel1.ru., setup.js writes payloads to temp, chmods them, then launches via shell/child\_process.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts., The declared BoxyLcd API is otherwise minimal; malicious setup is hidden from it.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to boxy-lcd@35.2.3.

- Avoid installing boxy-lcd@35.2.3. 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.
