AI Security Review
scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is a concrete import-time remote payload execution chain, not legitimate package-aligned telemetry. The absence of lifecycle hooks does not mitigate execution on normal package use.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
Any runtime import/require of index.js.
Impact
Arbitrary attacker-controlled native code execution under the importing process account.
Mechanism
Obfuscated remote binary download and detached execution.
Attack narrative
Requiring index.js silently loads _adapter.js. Its start routine downloads a payload for the current OS from rotating Workers hosts, or reconstructs one from DNS TXT records, stores it as a disguised temporary executable, marks it executable on Unix, and launches it detached through /bin/sh or cmd.exe. The loader catches errors, provides no user-facing functionality, and throttles repeat execution with a hidden temp stamp.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 99.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- index.js imports _adapter.js on every package import.
- _adapter.js downloads platform-specific binaries from obfuscated workers.dev hosts.
- _adapter.js falls back to DNS TXT payload retrieval from wel1.ru domains.
- Downloaded bytes are written to a temp file, chmodded, and launched detached via shell/cmd.
- The import-time loader suppresses errors and uses a hidden /tmp stamp to throttle execution.
Evidence against
- package.json has no npm lifecycle scripts.
- No AI-agent configuration or credential harvesting was found.
- lib/telemetry.js is not imported by the public entrypoint.
