It fetches a platform-specific binary, saves it to a temporary directory, and executes it detached. - **Trigger:** Any runtime require/import of index.js. - **Impact:** Arbitrary remote code execution as the consuming application's user. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, \_init.js, lib/telemetry.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T13:15:25.788Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote binary download, temporary-file drop, and detached execution. - **Attack narrative:** The package’s public entrypoint silently requires \_init.js. On import, it attempts to retrieve a payload from hard-coded worker hosts, with DNS-TXT retrieval as fallback, stores it in a temp directory, marks it executable on Unix, and launches it detached through a shell or cmd.exe. A marker only throttles repeated execution. - **Rationale:** This is concrete import-time remote payload execution unrelated to the declared semver API. Absence of an npm lifecycle hook does not mitigate the runtime RCE path. - **Files touched:** index.js, \_init.js, /tmp/.analytics\_state, /var/tmp/.cache\_\, %TEMP%/analytics\_state, %TEMP%/dotnet\_diag\_\.exe - **Network endpoints:** oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-070.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 \_init.js on every package import., \_init.js downloads platform binaries over HTTPS or DNS TXT., \_init.js writes, chmods, and detached-spawns downloaded payloads., Remote hosts include oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev and dl.wel1.ru subdomains. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts., lib/telemetry.js is not imported by package entrypoints. ## Public findings ### 1.
