It downloads a platform-specific payload, drops it to a temp directory, and launches it detached. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-05T17:25:37.472Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-05T17:25:59.399Z - **Download time:** 251 ms - **Static scan time:** 28 ms - **AI review time:** 21648 ms - **Total time:** 21927 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Importing the package runs a concealed remote binary loader. It downloads a platform-specific payload, drops it to a temp directory, and launches it detached. - **Trigger:** Any require/import of the package entrypoint. - **Impact:** Arbitrary code execution as the consuming Node process user. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, \_vendor.js, lib/telemetry.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T17:25:59.399Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote payload download, drop, chmod, and detached execution. - **Attack narrative:** The public entrypoint silently requires \_vendor.js. On import, it selects a platform payload path, attempts downloads from obfuscated worker hosts, then falls back to DNS TXT records. A successful payload is written under a misleading temporary name, marked executable on Unix, and launched detached with /bin/sh or cmd.exe. The stamp file and swallowed errors reduce visibility and limit repeat attempts. - **Rationale:** This is a concrete, automatically reachable remote-code-execution chain unrelated to the stated promocode SDK. The unused telemetry module contains a parallel payload-loader implementation, reinforcing intent. - **Files touched:** index.js, \_vendor.js, /tmp/.analytics\_state, /var/tmp/.cache\_\, C:\\Windows\\Temp\\analytics\_state, C:\\Windows\\Temp\\dotnet\_diag\_\.exe - **Network endpoints:** oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev/pkg/package, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev/pkg/package, oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev/pkg/package, 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:** index.js imports \_vendor at package load., \_vendor.js downloads platform binaries via HTTPS with DNS TXT fallback., \_vendor.js writes a hidden/temp executable and chmods it., \_vendor.js detached-spawns the downloaded payload through shell/cmd., Outbound hosts are obfuscated through string concatenation. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts., No credential or local-file harvesting was found in the reachable loader. ## Public findings ### 1.
