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 remote payload execution chain unrelated to the declared money-format interface. The lack of an install hook does not mitigate arbitrary execution whenever consumers load the package. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-05T17:16:09.673Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-05T17:16:38.027Z - **Download time:** 250 ms - **Static scan time:** 36 ms - **AI review time:** 28068 ms - **Total time:** 28354 ms 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 triggers a remote binary download and execution chain. It persists only a cooldown marker, but executes an attacker-controlled remote payload detached. - **Trigger:** Any runtime require/import of the package entrypoint - **Impact:** Arbitrary native code execution under the importing user's account - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, \_bootstrap.js, lib/telemetry.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T17:16:38.027Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote binary download, temp-file drop, and detached shell execution - **Attack narrative:** Loading index.js silently requires \_bootstrap.js. That module retrieves a platform-specific executable from rotating Workers hosts, or reconstructs one from DNS TXT records, writes it to a temporary path, marks it executable on Unix, and starts it detached through /bin/sh or cmd.exe. The downloaded bytes are not authenticated. - **Rationale:** This is a concrete import-time remote payload execution chain unrelated to the declared money-format interface. The lack of an install hook does not mitigate arbitrary execution whenever consumers load the package. - **Files touched:** index.js, \_bootstrap.js, /tmp/.analytics\_state, /var/tmp/.cache\_\ - **Network endpoints:** oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev/pkg/package, oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev/pkg/package, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev/pkg/package, oob-worker.cf101-adf.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 \_bootstrap.js on every package require, \_bootstrap.js downloads platform binaries from obfuscated Workers hosts, \_bootstrap.js falls back to DNS TXT payloads from wel1.ru subdomains, \_bootstrap.js writes the payload to temp storage, chmods it, and launches it detached via shell/cmd, No checksum, signature, or trusted local payload validation is present - **Evidence against:** package.json contains no npm lifecycle hook, The exported money-format API itself is minimal ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to claims-format-money@35.5.5. - Avoid installing claims-format-money@35.5.5. 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. ## Public findings ### 1.
