## 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:** 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.
