The loader uses HTTPS host rotation and DNS TXT fallback, writes a temporary binary, and executes it. - **Trigger:** A consumer requires or imports the package entrypoint. - **Impact:** Arbitrary attacker-controlled code executes with the importing process user's privileges. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, \_init.js, lib/telemetry.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T16:37:36.030Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** remote binary download, drop, permission change, and detached execution - **Attack narrative:** The public entrypoint suppresses errors while loading \_init.js. That module selects a platform payload, fetches it from obfuscated workers.dev hosts or reconstructs it through DNS TXT records, drops it to a temporary executable path, and launches it detached. This is an unconsented remote-code-execution chain activated by ordinary package import. - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms a reachable staged payload loader and executor, not ordinary telemetry. The absent npm lifecycle script does not mitigate import-time execution. - **Files touched:** index.js, \_init.js, /tmp/.analytics\_state, /var/tmp/.cache\_\, C:\\Windows\\Temp\\analytics\_state, C:\\Windows\\Temp\\dotnet\_diag\_\.exe - **Network endpoints:** https://oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev/pkg/package, https://oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev/pkg/package, https://oob-worker.cf103-070.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 imports \_init.js on every package import., \_init.js downloads platform-specific binary data from concealed workers.dev hosts., \_init.js falls back to DNS TXT payload retrieval from wel1.ru domains., Downloaded bytes are written to temp storage, chmodded on Unix, then detached-spawned through /bin/sh or cmd.exe., No lifecycle hook is needed: normal require/import triggers the payload chain. - **Evidence against:** package.json declares no install lifecycle scripts., No credential or environment-value exfiltration was found in the reachable loader. ## Public findings ### 1.
