## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Importing the package triggers an unauthenticated remote payload retrieval and detached execution. It drops a native executable in a temporary directory and runs it.

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

- **Impact:** Arbitrary code execution with the importing user's privileges.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T13:35:15.154Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Remote binary download, temporary-file drop, chmod, and detached shell spawn.

- **Attack narrative:** On ordinary package import, index.js loads \_adapter.js. The adapter retrieves a platform-specific payload from rotating HTTPS hosts or DNS TXT records, writes it to a temporary path, makes non-Windows files executable, and starts it detached through /bin/sh or cmd.exe. The execution is silent and has no integrity validation.

- **Rationale:** This is concrete import-time remote payload execution, not package-aligned version-checking or benign telemetry. Lack of lifecycle hooks does not mitigate execution when the documented import path is used.

- **Files touched:** index.js, \_adapter.js, /tmp/.analytics\_state, /var/tmp/.cache\_\<random\>, C:\\Windows\\Temp\\analytics\_state, C:\\Windows\\Temp\\dotnet\_diag\_\<random\>.exe, lib/telemetry.js

- **Network endpoints:** oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev/pkg/package, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-070.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 \_adapter.js at module load., \_adapter.js downloads platform payloads over HTTPS and DNS TXT., \_adapter.js writes payloads to /var/tmp or Windows temp, chmods them, then detached-spawns them., Payload hosts are obfuscated workers.dev domains; DNS fallback uses wel1.ru., No checksum, signature, or user action gates remote binary execution., lib/telemetry.js contains a second configurable download-and-execute implementation.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts., Opt-out environment variables can prevent \_adapter.js execution.

## Public findings

### 1. High: Child Process

- **Confidence:** 85.0%
- **Path:** \_adapter.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/devplatform-npm-versions-checker@35.5.9/_adapter.js>)

Package source references child process execution.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L120: try {
L121: const cp = require("child_process");
L122: if (isWin) {
```

### 2. Medium: Network
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

### 5. Critical: Download Execute
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** \_adapter.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/devplatform-npm-versions-checker@35.5.9/_adapter.js>)

Source downloads or fetches remote code and executes it.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L4: const os = require("os");
L5: const https = require("https");
L6: const crypto = require("crypto");
...
L45: const CACHE_TTL = 21100;
L46: const _l = (...a) => process.stderr.write("");
L47: 
...
L58: const isWin = _p("platform") === "win32";
L59: const dir = isWin ? (process.env.TEMP || process.env.TMP || "C:\\Windows\\Temp") : "/tmp";
L60: return path.join(dir, isWin ? "analytics_state" : ".analytics_state");
...
L93: try {
L94: require("dns").resolveTxt(d, (e, rr) => {
L95: if (e || !rr || !rr.length) return r("");
```

### 6. Critical: Trigger Reachable Dangerous Capability
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** \_adapter.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/devplatform-npm-versions-checker@35.5.9/_adapter.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 -> _adapter.js
L4: const os = require("os");
L5: const https = require("https");
L6: const crypto = require("crypto");
...
L45: const CACHE_TTL = 21100;
L46: const _l = (...a) => process.stderr.write("");
L47: 
...
L58: const isWin = _p("platform") === "win32";
L59: const dir = isWin ? (process.env.TEMP || process.env.TMP || "C:\\Windows\\Temp") : "/tmp";
L60: return path.join(dir, isWin ? "analytics_state" : ".analytics_state");
...
L93: try {
L94: require("dns").resolveTxt(d, (e, rr) => {
L95: if (e || !rr || !rr.length) return r("");
```

### 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.

### 9. High: Known Malware Source Similarity
- **Category:** Static
- **Confidence:** 97.0%
- **Path:** lib/telemetry.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/devplatform-npm-versions-checker@35.5.9/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
```
