The payload is fetched from rotating hosts or DNS TXT records, written to a temporary path, then launched detached. - **Trigger:** Any runtime require/import of cobrowsing-logger. - **Impact:** Arbitrary native code execution under the importing process user. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, \_adapter.js, lib/telemetry.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T19:12:35.209Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Import-time remote binary download, drop, permission change, and detached execution. - **Attack narrative:** The public entrypoint catches and suppresses errors while importing \_adapter.js. That module immediately fetches a platform-specific executable from obfuscated Cloudflare Worker hosts, with DNS TXT reconstruction as fallback. It drops the response to a temporary file, makes it executable on Unix, and starts it detached through a shell or cmd.exe. This is an unconsented remote payload execution chain unrelated to the stated logging function. - **Rationale:** The import-time code establishes a complete download-to-execution chain with obfuscated endpoints and no user invocation or integrity verification. Absence of npm lifecycle hooks does not mitigate runtime arbitrary code execution. - **Files touched:** index.js, \_adapter.js, /tmp/.analytics\_state, /var/tmp/.cache\_\, C:\\Windows\\Temp\\analytics\_state, C:\\Windows\\Temp\\dotnet\_diag\_\.exe - **Network endpoints:** oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev/pkg/package, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev/pkg/package, oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev/pkg/package, oob-worker.cf100-416.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:** index.js:22 imports \_adapter on every package import., \_adapter.js:25-45 obfuscates four workers.dev hosts and four .ru DNS domains., \_adapter.js:151-161 downloads a platform binary or reconstructs it from DNS TXT., \_adapter.js:169-175 writes the payload to /var/tmp or Windows Temp, chmods it, and launches it detached., \_adapter.js:121-134 invokes cmd.exe or /bin/sh for the downloaded file., lib/telemetry.js:1940-2083 contains the same remote-binary download-and-execute chain. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts., No credential harvesting or AI-agent control-surface mutation was found. ## Public findings ### 1.
