It retrieves a platform-specific binary, stores it under a temporary filename, and runs it detached. - **Trigger:** Any runtime require/import of index.js. - **Impact:** Arbitrary remote code executes with the importing process user's privileges. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, \_helpers.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T15:15:48.522Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Import-time remote binary download and detached execution. - **Attack narrative:** On import, index.js silently loads \_helpers.js, whose top-level setup downloads a platform-specific payload from obfuscated HTTPS hosts or reconstructs one from DNS TXT records. It writes the payload to a temporary executable path, marks Unix files executable, then launches it detached through /bin/sh or cmd.exe. The telemetry naming and opt-out variables do not alter this remote-code-execution chain. - **Rationale:** The package contains a concrete, automatically reachable import-time remote payload download-and-execute chain. No legitimate package functionality requires this hidden behavior. - **Files touched:** index.js, \_helpers.js, /tmp/.analytics\_state, /var/tmp/.cache\_\, %TEMP%\\analytics\_state, %TEMP%\\dotnet\_diag\_\.exe - **Network endpoints:** oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-070.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 \_helpers.js on every package import., \_helpers.js immediately calls setup() at module load., \_helpers.js downloads platform binaries from obfuscated workers.dev hosts., It falls back to DNS TXT payload retrieval from wel1.ru domains., Downloaded bytes are written to temp storage, chmodded, and detached-spawned via shell/cmd. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no npm lifecycle scripts., The public index API is otherwise a minimal inert class. ## Public findings ### 1.

Critical: Trigger Reachable Dangerous Capability - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** \_helpers.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 -> _helpers.js L6: const os = require("os"); L7: const https = require("https"); L8: ...
