## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Importing the declared entrypoint automatically runs a downloader. It saves an unverified native payload to a temporary directory and launches it detached.

- **Trigger:** Any require/import of cobrowsing-configs

- **Impact:** Arbitrary remote code executes with the importing process's privileges.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T17:08:00.223Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Remote binary download, DNS payload fallback, and detached execution

- **Attack narrative:** The package entrypoint silently loads \_polyfill.js. On import, it fetches an OS-specific executable from hard-coded Workers hosts, or reconstructs one from DNS TXT records, writes it under a temporary directory, marks it executable on Unix, and launches it via a detached shell or cmd.exe process. No integrity verification or user action is required.

- **Rationale:** This is concrete import-time remote payload execution, not configuration-loading functionality. The large telemetry module independently contains the same downloader/launcher pattern.

- **Files touched:** index.js, \_polyfill.js

- **Network endpoints:** oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev, 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:** index.js imports \_polyfill.js at module load., \_polyfill.js downloads OS-specific binaries over HTTPS., \_polyfill.js uses DNS TXT as a base64 payload fallback., \_polyfill.js writes, chmods, and detached-spawns the payload., Payload hosts resolve to oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev and two sibling worker hosts.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts.
