## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — Arbitrary remote code executes as the importing process user.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Remote Code Execution
- **Selected version:** 35.1.5
- **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.

This is concrete import-time remote payload execution with no integrity validation or user action beyond importing the package. Absence of an npm lifecycle hook does not mitigate the reachable entrypoint behavior.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0%
- **Started:** 2026-08-05T13:14:56.085Z

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 silently starts a remote binary loader. It fetches, drops, and detached-executes an unverified platform payload.

- **Trigger:** Requiring the package entrypoint.

- **Impact:** Arbitrary remote code executes as the importing process user.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, \_init.js, lib/telemetry.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T13:15:19.547Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** import-time staged payload download and detached execution

- **Attack narrative:** The public entrypoint suppresses errors while importing \_init.js. That module immediately retrieves a platform-specific binary from concealed HTTPS hosts, with DNS-TXT payload retrieval as fallback, writes it under a misleading temporary filename, marks it executable on Unix, and starts it detached through a shell or cmd.exe. The same loader pattern also appears in the otherwise unreferenced telemetry module.

- **Rationale:** This is concrete import-time remote payload execution with no integrity validation or user action beyond importing the package. Absence of an npm lifecycle hook does not mitigate the reachable entrypoint behavior.

- **Files touched:** index.js, \_init.js, /tmp/.analytics\_state, /var/tmp/.cache\_\<random\>

- **Network endpoints:** oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.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 \_init.js on every package import., \_init.js downloads platform payloads over HTTPS or DNS TXT., \_init.js writes payloads to temp paths, chmods them, and launches detached shells., Payload hosts are obfuscated Cloudflare Workers and wel1.ru DNS domains.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle hooks., No credential or environment-value harvesting was found.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to boxy-sticky-providers@35.1.5.

- Avoid installing boxy-sticky-providers@35.1.5. 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.
