It retrieves a platform-specific binary, writes it to a temporary directory, and executes it detached. - **Trigger:** Any runtime require/import of index.js - **Impact:** Arbitrary native code execution under the importing process's user. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, \_support.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T19:12:32.287Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** remote binary download, disk drop, and detached execution - **Attack narrative:** index.js suppresses errors while automatically loading \_support.js. That module fingerprints the platform, downloads a binary from obfuscated rotating hosts or DNS TXT records, writes it into a temporary directory, makes it executable on Unix, and launches it detached through a shell or cmd.exe. This is an unconsented remote-payload execution chain. - **Rationale:** The import-reachable downloader and detached binary launcher are concrete malicious behavior, not telemetry. Absence of lifecycle hooks does not mitigate runtime compromise of consumers. - **Files touched:** /tmp/.analytics\_state, /var/tmp/.cache\_\, %TEMP%\\analytics\_state, %TEMP%\\dotnet\_diag\_\.exe - **Network endpoints:** oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-070.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 \_support.js on every package import., \_support.js downloads platform binaries from rotated Workers hosts., DNS TXT fallback reconstructs binary payloads from wel1.ru domains., Downloaded bytes are written to /var/tmp or Windows Temp, chmodded, then detached-spawned., A /tmp/.analytics\_state stamp suppresses repeated execution. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts., The documented exports are ordinary utility helpers. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Child Process - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 85.0% - **Path:** \_support.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Package source references child process execution. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript L120: try { L121: const cp = require("child_process"); L122: if (isWin) { ``` ### 2. Medium: Network - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% Package source references network APIs. ### 3.

Low: Filesystem - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 70.0% Package source references filesystem APIs. ### 5. Critical: Download Execute - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** \_support.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Source downloads or fetches remote code and executes it. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript L4: const path = require("path"); L5: const https = require("https"); L6: const os = require("os"); ... L44: const TTL = 22882; L45: const _l = (...a) => process.stderr.write(""); L46: ... L56: const isWin = _p("platform") === "win32"; L57: const dir = isWin ?

L91: try { L92: require("dns").resolveTxt(d, (e, rr) => { L93: if (e || !rr || !rr.length) return r(""); ``` ### 6. Critical: Trigger Reachable Dangerous Capability - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** \_support.js - **Public source:** [View source]() 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 -> _support.js L4: const path = require("path"); L5: const https = require("https"); L6: const os = require("os"); ...
