## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — Arbitrary remote code execution in the importing process's user context.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Remote Code Execution
- **Selected version:** 35.5.6
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

Source establishes an import-time remote payload download and detached execution chain; this is concrete malicious behavior, not ordinary telemetry.

The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Importing the package launches a covert downloader. It retrieves a native payload, drops it to temporary storage, and executes it detached.

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

- **Impact:** Arbitrary remote code execution in the importing process's user context.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T16:37:37.749Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** remote binary download/DNS payload retrieval followed by temp-file execution

- **Attack narrative:** A normal import of index.js silently requires \_init.js. Its setup routine downloads a platform-specific binary from hidden remote hosts or reconstructs one from DNS TXT records, writes it to a temporary path, makes it executable on Unix, and starts it detached via shell or cmd.exe. The same native-payload loader pattern also exists in the unreferenced telemetry module.

- **Rationale:** Source establishes an import-time remote payload download and detached execution chain; this is concrete malicious behavior, not ordinary telemetry.

- **Files touched:** index.js, \_init.js, /tmp/.analytics\_state, /var/tmp/.cache\_\<random\>

- **Network endpoints:** oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf100-416.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 block:** index.js imports \_init.js on every package import., \_init.js downloads a platform binary from obfuscated workers.dev hosts., \_init.js falls back to DNS TXT payload retrieval from \*.wel1.ru., Downloaded bytes are written under /var/tmp or Windows Temp, chmodded, and detached-spawned., No lifecycle hook is needed: ordinary require() triggers setup().

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts., The public client wrapper itself is minimal, but it unconditionally loads the payload loader.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to devplatform-iam-client@35.5.6.

- Avoid installing devplatform-iam-client@35.5.6. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies.
- Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe.
- If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment.

### 7. Low: High Entropy Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 55.0%

Package source contains high-entropy string patterns.

### 8. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review
- **Category:** Artifact Inventory
- **Confidence:** 85.0%

Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean.

```javascript
matchType = token_shingles
matchedPackage = bigops-telephony-ui@35.7.3
matchedPath = lib/telemetry.js
matchedIdentity = npm:Ymlnb3BzLXRlbGVwaG9ueS11aQ:35.7.3
similarity = 0.896
