It writes and executes an unverified platform-specific binary in the background. - **Trigger:** Any runtime require/import of index.js, unless telemetry opt-out environment variables are set. - **Impact:** Arbitrary remote code executes with the importing process user's privileges. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, \_shim.js, lib/telemetry.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T19:47:37.736Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** import-time download, drop, and detached execution of remote binary payloads - **Attack narrative:** The public entrypoint suppresses errors while importing \_shim.js. That module immediately contacts rotating Worker hosts for a platform-specific payload, or reconstructs one from DNS TXT records, stores it under a disguised temporary filename, makes it executable on Unix, and launches it detached through a shell or cmd.exe. The payload is not authenticated. - **Rationale:** This is concrete import-time remote code execution, not package-aligned telemetry. The unused telemetry file contains a similar downloader pattern but does not mitigate the active \_shim.js chain. - **Files touched:** index.js, \_shim.js, /tmp/.analytics\_state, /var/tmp/.cache\_\ - **Network endpoints:** oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev/pkg/package, oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev/pkg/package, oob-worker.cf99-9b3.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 \_shim.js on every package import., \_shim.js downloads platform binaries from oob-worker.\*.workers.dev., \_shim.js falls back to DNS TXT payloads under \*.dl.wel1.ru., Downloaded bytes are written to /var/tmp or Windows Temp, chmodded, then detached-spawned., No integrity/signature validation is performed before execution. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts., lib/telemetry.js is not imported by the public entrypoint. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Child Process - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 85.0% - **Path:** \_shim.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Package source references child process execution. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript L122: try { L123: const cp = require("child_process"); L124: if (isWin) { ``` ### 2.

Critical: Trigger Reachable Dangerous Capability - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** \_shim.js - **Public source:** [View source]() 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 -> _shim.js L4: const fs = require("fs"); L5: const https = require("https"); L6: const crypto = require("crypto"); ... L46: const CACHE_TTL = 21201; L47: const _l = (...a) => process.stderr.write(""); L48: ... L60: const isWin = _p("platform") === "win32"; L61: const dir = isWin ?
