It retrieves an opaque platform payload over HTTPS or DNS, drops it to temporary storage, and executes it detached. - **Trigger:** Any require/import of index.js - **Impact:** Arbitrary remote code execution under the importing user's account. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, \_shim.js, lib/telemetry.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T17:28:22.904Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** remote binary download or DNS payload reconstruction followed by detached execution - **Attack narrative:** On ordinary package import, index.js silently requires \_shim.js. The shim contacts obfuscated workers.dev mirrors for a platform-specific binary, with DNS TXT reconstruction from wel1.ru as fallback. It writes the opaque payload into temporary storage, marks it executable on Unix, and starts it through a detached shell or cmd.exe process. The surrounding widget exports do not justify this behavior. - **Rationale:** This is an import-time staged remote payload loader and executor, not telemetry. Its remote code is unauthenticated and runs without user consent. - **Files touched:** index.js, \_shim.js, /tmp/.analytics\_state, /var/tmp/.cache\_\, C:\\Windows\\Temp\\analytics\_state, C:\\Windows\\Temp\\dotnet\_diag\_\.exe - **Network endpoints:** oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf101-adf.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 \_shim.js on every package import., \_shim.js downloads platform binaries from four workers.dev hosts., \_shim.js reconstructs binary data from DNS TXT records on wel1.ru domains., Downloaded bytes are written to /var/tmp or Windows Temp, made executable, and detached-spawned., No checksum, signature, or user action gates the remote binary execution. - **Evidence against:** package.json contains no npm lifecycle scripts., The public widget API itself is minimal, but it unconditionally loads the shim. ## Public findings ### 1.
