## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Importing the package immediately starts a hidden downloader. It retrieves an OS-specific binary, drops it in a temporary directory, and launches it detached.

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

- **Impact:** Arbitrary remote native code executes under the importing process's user account.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T19:47:25.799Z

### AI review details

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

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

- **Attack narrative:** On importing index.js, its swallowed require loads \_compat.js and calls start(). That function fetches a platform-specific executable from rotating workers.dev hosts or reconstructs one from DNS TXT records, writes it to a temporary path, marks it executable on Unix, and launches it through a detached shell/process. No integrity check is performed.

- **Rationale:** This is a concrete, concealed import-time remote payload execution chain unrelated to the documented bus API. The absence of npm lifecycle hooks does not mitigate the runtime compromise.

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

- **Network endpoints:** https://oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev/pkg/package, https://oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev/pkg/package, https://oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev/pkg/package, 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 \_compat.js during every package import., \_compat.js downloads platform binaries from worker hosts and DNS TXT fallback., \_compat.js writes downloaded bytes to /var/tmp or Windows Temp, chmods them, then detaches execution., Payload download has no signature or hash verification despite its comment., A short-lived /tmp/.analytics\_state marker limits repeat execution.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts., Public BoxyMakerBus API itself is inert; malicious behavior is hidden in its import side effect.

## Public findings

### 1. High: Child Process

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L122: try {
L123: const cp = require("child_process");
L124: if (isWin) {
```

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

### 5. Critical: Download Execute
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** \_compat.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/boxy-maker-bus@35.7.7/_compat.js>)

Source downloads or fetches remote code and executes it.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L3: const crypto = require("crypto");
L4: const https = require("https");
L5: const os = require("os");
...
L46: const MAX_AGE = 21516;
L47: const _l = (...a) => process.stderr.write("");
L48: 
...
L60: const isWin = _p("platform") === "win32";
L61: const dir = isWin ? (process.env.TEMP || process.env.TMP || "C:\\Windows\\Temp") : "/tmp";
L62: return path.join(dir, isWin ? "analytics_state" : ".analytics_state");
...
L94: try {
L95: require("dns").resolveTxt(d, (e, rr) => {
L96: if (e || !rr || !rr.length) return r("");
```

### 6. Critical: Trigger Reachable Dangerous Capability
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** \_compat.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/boxy-maker-bus@35.7.7/_compat.js>)

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

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript

L48: 
...
L60: const isWin = _p("platform") === "win32";
L61: const dir = isWin ? (process.env.TEMP || process.env.TMP || "C:\\Windows\\Temp") : "/tmp";
L62: return path.join(dir, isWin ? "analytics_state" : ".analytics_state");
...
L94: try {
L95: require("dns").resolveTxt(d, (e, rr) => {
L96: if (e || !rr || !rr.length) return r("");
