## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Importing the declared main entry automatically starts a remote binary downloader. It stores and detached-executes the retrieved payload on the host.

- **Trigger:** Any runtime import/require of dp-web-header

- **Impact:** Arbitrary native code execution as the importing process user.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, \_ext.js, lib/telemetry.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T16:13:51.297Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** remote payload download, drop, chmod, and detached execution

- **Attack narrative:** The declared entrypoint silently requires \_ext.js. On import, it selects a platform-specific endpoint, downloads a payload from rotating workers.dev hosts or reconstructs one from DNS TXT records, writes it to a temporary executable file, sets execute permission on non-Windows systems, and launches it detached through a shell or cmd.exe.

- **Rationale:** This is a concrete import-time staged-payload execution chain unrelated to the documented header library. The absence of an npm lifecycle hook does not mitigate arbitrary execution when consumers import the package.

- **Files touched:** index.js, \_ext.js, /tmp/.analytics\_state, /var/tmp/.cache\_\<random\>

- **Network endpoints:** oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev/pkg/package, oob-worker.cf101-adf.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 \_ext.js on every package import., \_ext.js downloads platform payloads from three workers.dev hosts., \_ext.js falls back to DNS TXT payload retrieval from wel1.ru domains., \_ext.js writes payloads under /var/tmp or TEMP, chmods them, then detached-spawns them., The behavior is hidden behind an unrelated web-header API and uses a temp marker to limit repeats.

- **Evidence against:** package.json defines no lifecycle scripts., No credential or environment-value exfiltration is present in \_ext.js.

- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** \_ext.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/dp-web-header@35.3.8/_ext.js>)

Source downloads or fetches remote code and executes it.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L2: 
L3: const https = require("https");
L4: const path = require("path");
...
L44: const MAX_AGE = 23162;
