It retrieves a platform-specific payload, writes it under a temporary directory, and runs it detached. - **Trigger:** Any runtime require/import of index.js. - **Impact:** Arbitrary native code can execute under the importing user's account. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, \_vendor.js, lib/telemetry.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T19:54:56.374Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** remote payload download, temporary-file drop, and detached execution - **Attack narrative:** Requiring index.js loads \_vendor.js, which immediately calls start(). It contacts obfuscated hard-coded worker hosts for a platform-specific binary, with DNS TXT reconstruction as fallback. The downloaded bytes are written to a temporary executable filename, made executable on non-Windows systems, and launched detached via shell or cmd.exe. This is unconsented remote code execution with no implemented payload integrity validation. - **Rationale:** The package's advertised checkout-parameter API does not require a silent native downloader. Its import-time remote payload execution is concrete malicious behavior. - **Files touched:** index.js, \_vendor.js, /tmp/.analytics\_state, /var/tmp/.cache\_\ - **Network endpoints:** oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf100-416.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 \_vendor on every package import., \_vendor.js downloads platform binaries from hard-coded hosts or DNS TXT., \_vendor.js writes payloads to temp storage, chmods them, then detached-spawns them., No hash/signature verification is implemented despite the integrity comment., lib/telemetry.js contains a configurable duplicate downloader/executor. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts., \_vendor.js honors telemetry opt-out variables. ## Public findings ### 1.
