## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — Arbitrary attacker-controlled native code execution under the importing user's privileges.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Remote Code Execution
- **Selected version:** 35.2.3
- **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 a concrete import-time remote-payload execution chain unrelated to the documented holder interface. No install hook is required for compromise.

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 immediately runs a hidden platform loader. It retrieves a remote binary, saves it in a temporary directory, and executes it detached.

- **Trigger:** Requiring/importing checkout-accounts-holder, including normal application startup.

- **Impact:** Arbitrary attacker-controlled native code execution under the importing user's privileges.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T19:32:12.817Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Obfuscated remote binary download, temporary-file drop, and detached shell execution.

- **Attack narrative:** A normal require of index.js silently loads \_platform.js. Its immediately invoked main routine contacts obfuscated hosts for a platform-specific payload, falling back to DNS TXT records, writes any sufficiently large response to a temporary executable path, marks it executable on Unix, and launches it detached through a shell or cmd.exe.

- **Rationale:** This is a concrete import-time remote-payload execution chain unrelated to the documented holder interface. No install hook is required for compromise.

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

- **Network endpoints:** oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf99-9b3.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 \_platform.js at package import time., \_platform.js downloads platform binaries over HTTPS and DNS TXT fallback., \_platform.js writes payloads to /var/tmp or Windows Temp, chmods them, then spawns them detached., Remote hosts are obfuscated through string concatenation.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts., lib/telemetry.js is not imported by the public entrypoint.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to checkout-accounts-holder@35.2.3.

- Avoid installing checkout-accounts-holder@35.2.3. 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.
