AI Security Review

scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

This is a concrete import-time remote-payload execution chain, not normal telemetry. The absence of lifecycle scripts does not mitigate execution when consumers import the package.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

Any runtime require/import of the package entrypoint.

Impact

Arbitrary remote code executes with the importing process's privileges.

Mechanism

remote binary download, temporary-file drop, and detached execution

Attack narrative

Requiring index.js silently requires setup.js. That module downloads a platform-specific payload from obfuscated worker hosts, or reconstructs one from DNS TXT records, stores it under a disguised temporary filename, makes it executable on Unix, and launches it through a detached shell process. The activity is only gated by opt-out variables and a short-lived marker, not an explicit user action.

AI rationale

This is a concrete import-time remote-payload execution chain, not normal telemetry. The absence of lifecycle scripts does not mitigate execution when consumers import the package.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Malicious at 99.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for block

index.js imports ./setup at package import time.
setup.js downloads platform binaries from rotating workers.dev hosts.
setup.js falls back to DNS TXT payload retrieval from wel1.ru domains.
setup.js writes payloads to /var/tmp or Windows temp, chmods them, and detached-spawns them.
lib/telemetry.js contains the same download-to-temp-and-execute primitive.

Evidence against

package.json has no lifecycle scripts.
No AI-agent control-surface mutation was found.
