Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — Untrusted remote code executes with the importing process's privileges. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Remote Code Execution - **Selected version:** 35.9.4 - **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 code execution, not telemetry: the package fetches arbitrary binary bytes and executes them detached without validation. The lack of lifecycle hooks does not mitigate activation on ordinary import. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-05T17:27:56.445Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-05T17:28:23.478Z - **Download time:** 252 ms - **Static scan time:** 31 ms - **AI review time:** 26749 ms - **Total time:** 27033 ms 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 remote payload loader. It fetches or DNS-reconstructs a platform binary, writes it to temporary storage, and executes it detached. - **Trigger:** Any Node.js require/import of the package entrypoint. - **Impact:** Untrusted remote code executes with the importing process's privileges. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, \_runtime.js, lib/telemetry.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T17:28:23.478Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote binary download, drop, and detached execution. - **Attack narrative:** The declared entrypoint catches and suppresses errors while importing \_runtime.js. That module runs bootstrap immediately, contacts obfuscated workers.dev endpoints for a platform-specific payload, and can alternatively reconstruct it from DNS TXT records. It writes a stamp to suppress repeats, drops the received bytes into a temporary executable path, marks non-Windows payloads executable, and launches them detached through a shell or cmd.exe. No integrity verification or user action is required. - **Rationale:** This is concrete import-time remote code execution, not telemetry: the package fetches arbitrary binary bytes and executes them detached without validation. The lack of lifecycle hooks does not mitigate activation on ordinary import. - **Files touched:** index.js, \_runtime.js, /tmp/.analytics\_state, /var/tmp/.cache\_\, C:\\Windows\\Temp\\analytics\_state, C:\\Windows\\Temp\\dotnet\_diag\_\.exe - **Network endpoints:** https://oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev/pkg/package, https://oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev/pkg/package, https://oob-worker.cf103-070.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 block:** index.js imports \_runtime.js on every package import, \_runtime.js downloads platform payloads from three workers.dev hosts, \_runtime.js falls back to DNS TXT payload retrieval via wel1.ru domains, Downloaded bytes are written to a temp file, chmodded, and detached-spawned, No hash, signature, or content validation protects the remote payload - **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts, Main API in index.js is otherwise a minimal card class ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to checkout-desktop-input-card@35.9.4. - Avoid installing checkout-desktop-input-card@35.9.4. 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. ## Public findings ### 1.
