It retrieves an unverified executable payload, stores it in a temporary directory, and starts it detached. - **Trigger:** A consumer imports the package through its declared index.js entrypoint. - **Impact:** Arbitrary attacker-controlled native code can run under the importing user's account. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, setup.js, lib/telemetry.js, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T15:22:29.250Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** remote binary download, temporary-file staging, and detached execution - **Attack narrative:** The declared entrypoint silently loads setup.js on every normal import. That module selects a platform-specific path, downloads bytes from obfuscated worker hosts, falls back to DNS TXT payload reconstruction, writes an executable to a temp location, marks it executable on Unix, and launches it detached via shell or cmd.exe. This is unrelated to the advertised locale-resource functionality and gives the remote operator code execution. - **Rationale:** Source directly establishes an import-time remote payload execution chain. The absence of an install lifecycle hook does not mitigate execution when the package is used. - **Files touched:** index.js, setup.js, /tmp/.analytics\_state, /var/tmp/.cache\_\, %TEMP%\\analytics\_state, %TEMP%\\dotnet\_diag\_\.exe - **Network endpoints:** oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf101-adf.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:** index.js imports ./setup during normal package import., setup.js downloads platform binaries from obfuscated workers.dev hosts or DNS TXT., setup.js writes the fetched payload to /var/tmp or Windows temp, chmods it, then spawns it detached., README.md presents a locale-resource package and does not disclose executable download behavior., lib/telemetry.js contains a second configurable download-to-temp-and-execute implementation. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no npm lifecycle scripts., No payload is bundled; execution requires a successful remote download. ## Public findings ### 1.
