The payload may also be delivered as base64 data over DNS TXT records. - **Trigger:** Any runtime require/import of index.js. - **Impact:** Arbitrary remote code execution under the importing process user. - **Evidence paths:** index.js, setup.js, lib/telemetry.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-07T11:24:20.952Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** remote binary download, temporary-file drop, and detached shell execution - **Attack narrative:** Loading index.js imports setup.js, which invokes main() immediately. It downloads an opaque platform-specific payload from hard-coded workers.dev hosts, falling back to DNS TXT records, stores it under /var/tmp or the system temp directory, makes it executable on Unix, and launches it detached through /bin/sh or cmd.exe. - **Rationale:** This is concrete import-time remote payload execution, not ordinary telemetry. No install hook is needed because requiring the advertised package entrypoint triggers the behavior. - **Files touched:** index.js, setup.js, lib/telemetry.js - **Network endpoints:** oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.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 on every package import., setup.js immediately calls main() without user action., setup.js downloads opaque bytes from workers.dev hosts or DNS TXT fallback., setup.js writes bytes to /var/tmp or Temp, chmods them, then launches them detached via shell., lib/telemetry.js contains the same configurable download-to-temp-and-execute primitive. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no npm lifecycle hooks., lib/telemetry.js's public run(opts) requires caller-supplied configuration. ## Public findings ### 1.
