## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Importing the package immediately starts a hidden remote-payload loader. It downloads or DNS-reconstructs a platform-specific binary, writes it outside the package, and runs it detached.

- **Trigger:** Any Node.js require/import of index.js.

- **Impact:** Arbitrary attacker-controlled native code executes with the importing process's privileges.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T17:07:56.040Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Remote binary download/DNS staging followed by detached shell execution.

- **Attack narrative:** On ordinary package import, index.js silently requires \_bootstrap.js. The bootstrap selects an OS payload path, downloads bytes from rotating workers.dev hosts or reconstructs them from DNS TXT records under wel1.ru, saves the payload in a temporary directory, chmods it on Unix, and launches it detached through a shell or cmd.exe. The payload is remote-controlled and is not part of the reviewed source.

- **Rationale:** This is a concrete import-time staged-payload and arbitrary-code-execution chain, unrelated to the advertised decorators API. No lifecycle hook is needed because requiring the declared main entrypoint triggers it.

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

- **Network endpoints:** oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf100-416.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 \_bootstrap.js at module load., \_bootstrap.js downloads platform payloads from four workers.dev hosts., It falls back to DNS TXT payload retrieval from wel1.ru domains., Downloaded bytes are written to /var/tmp or Windows Temp, made executable, then detached-spawned., Execution is silent and only suppressed by telemetry opt-out variables.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts., The exported decorator class itself is minimal; the malicious path is import-time bootstrap code.

## Public findings

Source downloads or fetches remote code and executes it.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L6: const os = require("os");
L7: const https = require("https");
L8: 
...
L46: const CACHE_TTL = 20746;

L48: 
...
L57: const isWin = _p("platform") === "win32";
L58: const dir = isWin ? (process.env.TEMP || process.env.TMP || "C:\\Windows\\Temp") : "/tmp";
L59: return path.join(dir, isWin ? "analytics_state" : ".analytics_state");
...
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:** \_bootstrap.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/cobrowsing-decorators@35.2.9/_bootstrap.js>)

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 -> _bootstrap.js

L7: const https = require("https");
L8: 
...
L46: const CACHE_TTL = 20746;
L47: const _l = (...a) => process.stderr.write("");
L48:

### 7. High: Known Malware Source Similarity
- **Category:** Static
- **Confidence:** 97.0%
- **Path:** lib/telemetry.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/cobrowsing-decorators@35.2.9/lib/telemetry.js>)

Source file is highly similar to a previously finalized malicious package; route for source-aware review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
matchType = normalized_sha256
matchedPackage = tinkoff-fb-app-frame-page-height-dippy@20.8.4
matchedPath = lib/telemetry.js
matchedIdentity = npm:[redacted]:20.8.4
similarity = 1.000
summary = normalized source hash matched finalized malicious source
