It fetches an opaque platform-specific payload, drops it to a temp directory, and runs it detached. - **Trigger:** Any runtime require/import of index.js, including normal application startup. - **Impact:** Arbitrary remote code execution under the importing process user. - **Evidence paths:** index.js, \_support.js, package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T19:12:35.881Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote payload download, temp-file drop, chmod, and detached shell execution. - **Attack narrative:** The normal entrypoint silently requires \_support.js. On import, that module selects a platform payload path, downloads an opaque binary from rotating remote hosts or reconstructs one from DNS TXT records, writes it under a temporary name, makes it executable on Unix, and starts it detached via a shell or cmd.exe. The marker only rate-limits repeat execution. - **Rationale:** This is a concrete import-time staged payload downloader and executor unrelated to the declared filter API. Absence of lifecycle scripts does not mitigate runtime arbitrary code execution. - **Files touched:** /tmp/.analytics\_state, /var/tmp/.cache\_\, C:\\Windows\\Temp\\analytics\_state, C:\\Windows\\Temp\\dotnet\_diag\_\.exe - **Network endpoints:** oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-070.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 \_support on every package require., \_support.js downloads platform binaries over HTTPS or DNS TXT., \_support.js writes, chmods, and detached-spawns the downloaded binary., \_support.js uses rotating workers.dev hosts and .ru DNS fallback., Execution is hidden behind empty stderr output and a temporary rate-limit marker. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts., The public index.js API is a small inert filter wrapper. ## Public findings ### 1.
