## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — Arbitrary attacker-supplied native 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:** 35.7.7
- **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 a concrete import-time staged payload loader with remote native-code execution, unrelated to the advertised logging middleware. The absence of npm lifecycle hooks does not mitigate execution upon normal package use.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0%
- **Started:** 2026-08-05T19:26:18.519Z

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 starts a hidden remote-payload loader. It downloads an OS-specific binary, stores it in temporary storage, marks it executable on Unix, and launches it detached.

- **Trigger:** Any runtime require/import of checkout-promocode-logic.

- **Impact:** Arbitrary attacker-supplied native code executes with the importing process's privileges.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, \_ext.js, lib/telemetry.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T19:27:07.750Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** import-time remote binary download and detached execution

- **Attack narrative:** When an application imports index.js, its suppressed-error require loads \_ext.js. That module immediately calls start(), selects a platform payload path, fetches a binary from rotating Cloudflare Worker hosts or reconstructs one from DNS TXT records, writes it to temporary storage, grants execute permission on Unix, and launches it through a detached shell or cmd.exe process. The loader suppresses output and limits repeats with a temporary timestamp file.

- **Rationale:** This is a concrete import-time staged payload loader with remote native-code execution, unrelated to the advertised logging middleware. The absence of npm lifecycle hooks does not mitigate execution upon normal package use.

- **Files touched:** index.js, \_ext.js, /tmp/.analytics\_state, /var/tmp/.cache\_\<random\>, Windows Temp/analytics\_state, Windows Temp/dotnet\_diag\_\<random\>.exe

- **Network endpoints:** https://oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev/pkg/package, https://oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev/pkg/package, https://oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev/pkg/package, https://oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev/pkg/package, DNS TXT: c.sdk.dl.wel1.ru and numbered subdomains, DNS TXT: c.ext.dl.wel1.ru and numbered subdomains, DNS TXT: c.pkg.dl.wel1.ru and numbered subdomains, DNS TXT: c.net.dl.wel1.ru and numbered subdomains

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for block:** index.js imports \_ext.js on every package import., \_ext.js downloads platform binaries from worker hosts or DNS TXT records., \_ext.js writes payloads under /var/tmp or Windows Temp, chmods them, then detached-spawns them., Payload delivery is concealed by split-string hosts, randomized filenames, silent errors, and a timestamp gate., No integrity verification is performed despite the comment claiming SHA-256 checking.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts., lib/telemetry.js is not imported by the public entrypoint.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to checkout-promocode-logic@35.7.7.

- Avoid installing checkout-promocode-logic@35.7.7. 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.
