## 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:** 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.
