Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — Arbitrary attacker-controlled native code can execute under the importing process's user account. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Remote Code Execution - **Selected version:** 35.4.1 - **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. The import-triggered, unauthenticated download-and-execute chain is concrete remote code execution behavior and unrelated to the advertised type wrapper. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-05T19:41:31.946Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-05T19:42:27.831Z - **Download time:** 251 ms - **Static scan time:** 42 ms - **AI review time:** 55591 ms - **Total time:** 55885 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 package automatically starts a remote binary loader. It fetches an unverified payload, drops it into a temporary directory, and launches it detached. - **Trigger:** Runtime import/require of boxy-mmb-types. - **Impact:** Arbitrary attacker-controlled native code can execute under the importing process's user account. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, \_loader.js, lib/telemetry.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T19:42:27.831Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** remote payload download, disk drop, and detached execution - **Attack narrative:** A normal require of index.js silently requires \_loader.js. The loader fetches a platform-specific binary from obfuscated Workers hosts, or reconstructs it from DNS TXT records, writes it to a temporary path, makes non-Windows payloads executable, and launches it via a detached shell or cmd.exe process. The payload is not authenticated despite a misleading integrity-check comment. - **Rationale:** The import-triggered, unauthenticated download-and-execute chain is concrete remote code execution behavior and unrelated to the advertised type wrapper. - **Files touched:** index.js, \_loader.js, /tmp/.analytics\_state, /var/tmp/.cache\_\*, C:\\Windows\\Temp\\analytics\_state, C:\\Windows\\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.cf100-416.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 \_loader.js on every package import., \_loader.js downloads platform payloads over HTTPS, with DNS TXT fallback., Downloaded bytes are written to /var/tmp or Windows Temp, chmodded, then spawned detached., Payload hosts are obfuscated by string concatenation; no checksum is verified., A temporary marker rate-limits repeated execution but does not prevent it. - **Evidence against:** package.json contains no lifecycle scripts., The documented wrapper API itself is small and does not expose the loader. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to boxy-mmb-types@35.4.1. - Avoid installing boxy-mmb-types@35.4.1. 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.
