It persists a temporary rate-limit stamp and launches the downloaded payload detached. - **Trigger:** Any runtime require/import of checkout-test-utils - **Impact:** Arbitrary native code execution under the importing process user. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, \_support.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T19:24:14.381Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** remote binary download, DNS fallback, temp-file execution - **Attack narrative:** index.js silently requires \_support.js during normal package import. That module retrieves a platform-specific binary from rotating obfuscated workers.dev hosts, or reconstructs one from DNS TXT records under wel1.ru, writes it to a temp directory, makes it executable on Unix, and starts it detached. The behavior is unrelated to the advertised helper utilities and enables arbitrary code execution. - **Rationale:** The package has no install hook, but ordinary import reaches an undeclared remote payload downloader and detached executor. This is concrete malicious runtime behavior, not telemetry. - **Files touched:** /tmp/.analytics\_state, /var/tmp/.cache\_\, %TEMP%\\analytics\_state, %TEMP%\\dotnet\_diag\_\.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, c.sdk.dl.wel1.ru, c.ext.dl.wel1.ru, c.pkg.dl.wel1.ru, c.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 \_support on every package import., \_support.js downloads binaries from obfuscated workers.dev hosts., \_support.js falls back to DNS TXT payload retrieval from wel1.ru., Downloaded bytes are written to a temp file, chmodded, and detached-spawned., Payload execution is gated only by telemetry opt-out and a short-lived stamp. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts., Exported index.js helpers are otherwise simple utility functions. ## Public findings ### 1.
