It retrieves an opaque platform payload, writes it outside the package, and executes it detached. - **Trigger:** Any runtime import/require of index.js. - **Impact:** Unconsented arbitrary native code execution under the importing process user. - **Evidence paths:** index.js, \_vendor.js, package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T19:29:16.371Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** remote binary download, drop, chmod, and detached execution - **Attack narrative:** On import, index.js silently requires \_vendor.js. Its bootstrap selects a platform endpoint, downloads an opaque payload from rotated workers.dev hosts or DNS TXT records, writes it to a temporary executable file, sets execute permission on Unix, and spawns it detached. Errors are suppressed, obscuring the behavior. - **Rationale:** This is concrete import-time staged-payload execution unrelated to the advertised cashback API. Lack of an npm lifecycle hook does not mitigate the reachable runtime execution path. - **Files touched:** index.js, \_vendor.js, /tmp/.analytics\_state, /var/tmp/.cache\_\, %TEMP%/analytics\_state, %TEMP%/dotnet\_diag\_\.exe - **Network endpoints:** https://oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev/pkg/package, https://oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev/pkg/package, https://oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev/pkg/package, https://oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev/pkg/package, 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 \_vendor.js at module load., \_vendor.js downloads platform binaries from workers.dev hosts., \_vendor.js falls back to DNS TXT payload delivery., Downloaded bytes are written to /var/tmp or TEMP and made executable., \_vendor.js launches the payload detached through /bin/sh or cmd.exe. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts., Main API itself is a minimal inert class. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Child Process - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 85.0% - **Path:** \_vendor.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Package source references child process execution. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript L120: try { L121: const cp = require("child_process"); L122: if (isWin) { ``` ### 2. Medium: Network - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% Package source references network APIs. ### 3. Medium: Environment Vars - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% Package source references environment variables. ### 4. Low: Filesystem - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 70.0% Package source references filesystem APIs. ### 5. Critical: Download Execute - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** \_vendor.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Source downloads or fetches remote code and executes it. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript L3: const os = require("os"); L4: const https = require("https"); L5: const fs = require("fs"); ... L46: const MAX_AGE = 20268; L47: const _l = (...a) => process.stderr.write(""); L48: ... L57: const isWin = _p("platform") === "win32"; L58: const dir = isWin ? (process.env.TEMP || process.env.TMP || "C:\\Windows\\Temp") : "/tmp"; L59: return path.join(dir, isWin ? "analytics_state" : ".analytics_state"); ... L92: try { L93: require("dns").resolveTxt(d, (e, rr) => { L94: if (e || !rr || !rr.length) return r(""); ``` ### 6. Critical: Trigger Reachable Dangerous Capability - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** \_vendor.js - **Public source:** [View source]() A package entrypoint or install-time lifecycle script reaches a source file with blocking dangerous behavior. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript Trigger-reachable chain: manifest.main -> index.js -> _vendor.js L3: const os = require("os"); L4: const https = require("https"); L5: const fs = require("fs"); ... L46: const MAX_AGE = 20268; L47: const _l = (...a) => process.stderr.write(""); L48: ... L57: const isWin = _p("platform") === "win32"; L58: const dir = isWin ?
