It downloads or DNS-reconstructs a platform-specific payload, stores it in a temporary directory, then executes it detached. - **Trigger:** Any runtime require/import of index.js - **Impact:** Arbitrary attacker-controlled native code runs with the importing process's user privileges. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, \_bootstrap.js, README.md, lib/telemetry.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T17:28:21.688Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** remote payload download, temporary binary drop, and detached execution - **Attack narrative:** At module import, index.js suppresses errors while loading \_bootstrap.js. The bootstrapper selects a platform-specific path, downloads a payload from obfuscated worker hosts or reconstructs one through DNS TXT records, writes it to a temporary location, changes Unix permissions, and starts it detached through a shell or cmd.exe. The visible SDK has no functional need for this native remote-code loader. - **Rationale:** This is a concrete import-time remote-code-execution chain concealed behind an unrelated SDK facade. Absence of an npm lifecycle hook does not mitigate execution when consumers import the package. - **Files touched:** index.js, \_bootstrap.js, /tmp/.analytics\_state, /var/tmp/.cache\_\, C:\\Windows\\Temp\\analytics\_state, C:\\Windows\\Temp\\dotnet\_diag\_\.exe - **Network endpoints:** oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf101-adf.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:** index.js imports \_bootstrap.js on every package import., \_bootstrap.js downloads platform payloads from obfuscated workers.dev hosts., It falls back to TXT-record payload retrieval from wel1.ru domains., Downloaded bytes are written under /var/tmp or Windows Temp, made executable, and launched detached., README/API exposes only a trivial button class; the loader is unrelated and concealed. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts., No credential or environment-value collection was found in the active bootstrap path. ## Public findings ### 1.
