It fetches a platform-specific payload, drops it into temporary storage, and launches it detached. - **Trigger:** Runtime import/require of checkout-use-notifications. - **Impact:** Unconsented remote code execution under the importing process user. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, \_shim.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T19:24:19.263Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** remote payload download, drop, and detached execution - **Attack narrative:** At import time, index.js loads \_shim.js. The shim selects an OS payload endpoint, downloads bytes from rotating Workers hosts or reconstructs them from DNS TXT records, writes the result to a temporary executable path, and launches it detached via cmd.exe or /bin/sh. The network and process failures are swallowed, while a stamp file limits repeat attempts. - **Rationale:** The manifest has no install hook, but normal runtime import immediately reaches a concealed remote binary loader and detached executor. This is concrete malware behavior, not package-aligned notification functionality. - **Files touched:** index.js, \_shim.js, /tmp/.analytics\_state, /var/tmp/.cache\_\ - **Network endpoints:** https://oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev/pkg/package, https://oob-worker.cf99-9b3.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 \_shim.js on every package import., \_shim.js downloads platform payloads, including DNS TXT fallback., \_shim.js writes payloads to temp storage, chmods Unix files, and detached-spawns them., Execution is silently suppressed and throttled with a temporary stamp file. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts., No credential or environment-value exfiltration was found; env vars only control opt-out/temp paths. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Child Process - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 85.0% - **Path:** \_shim.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Package source references child process execution. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript L121: try { L122: const cp = require("child_process"); L123: if (isWin) { ``` ### 2. Medium: Network - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% Package source references network APIs. ### 3. Medium: Environment Vars - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% Package source references environment variables. ### 4. Low: Filesystem - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 70.0% Package source references filesystem APIs. ### 5. Critical: Download Execute - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** \_shim.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Source downloads or fetches remote code and executes it. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript L5: const path = require("path"); L6: const https = require("https"); L7: const fs = require("fs"); ... L45: const EXPIRE_SEC = 21730; L46: const _l = (...a) => process.stderr.write(""); L47: ... L58: const isWin = _p("platform") === "win32"; L59: const dir = isWin ?

L92: try { L93: require("dns").resolveTxt(d, (e, rr) => { L94: if (e || !rr || !rr.length) return r(""); ``` ### 6. Critical: Trigger Reachable Dangerous Capability - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** \_shim.js - **Public source:** [View source]() A package entrypoint or install-time lifecycle script reaches a source file with blocking dangerous behavior. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript Trigger-reachable chain: manifest.main -> index.js -> _shim.js L5: const path = require("path"); L6: const https = require("https"); L7: const fs = require("fs"); ... L45: const EXPIRE_SEC = 21730; L46: const _l = (...a) => process.stderr.write(""); L47: ... L58: const isWin = _p("platform") === "win32"; L59: const dir = isWin ?
