It retrieves an opaque binary over HTTPS or DNS, drops it into a temp directory, and executes it detached. - **Trigger:** Any require/import of the package main entrypoint. - **Impact:** Unconsented arbitrary native code execution under the importing process user. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, \_shim.js, lib/telemetry.js, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T13:35:12.169Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** import-time remote binary download, drop, and execution - **Attack narrative:** The declared main entrypoint imports \_shim.js inside a swallowed-error wrapper. On import, it contacts several obfuscated workers.dev hosts for a platform-specific binary; if that fails, it reconstructs a binary from DNS TXT records under wel1.ru. It writes the bytes under an innocuous random temporary filename, marks non-Windows files executable, and starts them detached through cmd.exe or /bin/sh. This is a concrete staged remote-payload execution chain, not telemetry. - **Rationale:** The package’s benign exported class is paired with an unconditional import-time downloader/executor. The remote opaque binary is neither package-aligned nor integrity-verified despite a misleading comment. - **Files touched:** index.js, \_shim.js, /tmp/.analytics\_state, /var/tmp/.cache\_\, C:\\Windows\\Temp\\analytics\_state, C:\\Windows\\Temp\\dotnet\_diag\_\.exe - **Network endpoints:** oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev/pkg/package, oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev/pkg/package, oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev/pkg/package, oob-worker.cf102-baf.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:23 imports \_shim on every package import., \_shim.js downloads platform payloads from obfuscated workers.dev hosts., \_shim.js falls back to DNS TXT payload retrieval via wel1.ru domains., \_shim.js writes payloads to /var/tmp or Windows temp, chmods them, then launches detached., No lifecycle hook is needed: the malicious path runs at import time. - **Evidence against:** package.json contains no lifecycle scripts., No credential harvesting or AI-agent configuration mutation was found. ## Public findings ### 1.
