# checkout-storage-service@35.2.9 npm security report

> **Trust boundary:** Package metadata, advisory text, filenames, URLs, and source snippets in this report come from external packages or feeds. Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document.

## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — Unconsented arbitrary native code execution under the consuming application's user account.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Remote Code Execution
- **Selected version:** 35.2.9
- **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.

The import-time loader is unrelated to the advertised storage API and forms a concrete remote-code-execution chain. No lifecycle hook is needed because normal application use activates it.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0%

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 main entrypoint immediately starts an asynchronous remote payload loader. It retrieves a binary by HTTPS or DNS TXT, drops it into a temp directory, and executes it detached.

- **Trigger:** Any runtime require/import of checkout-storage-service

- **Impact:** Unconsented arbitrary native code execution under the consuming application's user account.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T17:21:30.285Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** remote payload download, temp-file drop, and detached execution

- **Attack narrative:** Requiring the advertised Store package imports \_helpers.js. Unless opt-out variables or a short-lived marker prevent it, that module fetches a platform-specific payload from obfuscated Workers domains, or reconstructs one from DNS TXT records. It writes the payload to a temp path, makes it executable on Unix, and launches it through a detached shell or cmd.exe process while suppressing errors.

- **Rationale:** The import-time loader is unrelated to the advertised storage API and forms a concrete remote-code-execution chain. No lifecycle hook is needed because normal application use activates it.

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

- **Network endpoints:** https://oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev/pkg/package, https://oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev/pkg/package, https://oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev/pkg/package, https://oob-worker.cf99-9b3.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 block:** index.js imports \_helpers.js on every package require., \_helpers.js downloads platform payloads from hidden Workers hosts., \_helpers.js falls back to DNS TXT payload retrieval from wel1.ru domains., \_helpers.js writes payloads to /var/tmp or Windows Temp, chmods them, then detached-spawns them., The network, payload, and execution errors are suppressed.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts., index.js otherwise implements a simple in-memory Store., lib/telemetry.js is not imported by the package entrypoint.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to checkout-storage-service@35.2.9.

- Avoid installing checkout-storage-service@35.2.9. 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.
